Jacqueline and all my friends, Right. I do not send to the committee. I do send to the ALAC atlarge list. Ergo my meaning in part. Secondly and as I already mentioned, I do not belong as a member to the ALAC staff and cannot due to conflict of interest, please try to read my post completely and than you will understand more fully and accurately in the future. Have you been educated yet again properly? I hope so. If not, I shall endevor to try, try again. "Jacqueline A.Morris" wrote:
Seems we have to educate again. The ALAC is the At Large Advisory Committee. There are 15 members. They are listed at alac.icann.org. No one can simply "join" the ALAC. If you are a member of an organisation that is an accredited ALS, then you may run for a position on the ALAC through the RALO election process in your geographic region. Or you may submit an application to the ICANN NomCom for appointment to a position on ALAC. All RALOs accept groups as ALSes. Some also accept individuals. The criteria for ALS accreditation are posted at alac.icann.org. INE Group is NOT an Accredited ALS according to the listing on the ALAC website. From what I have seen, it does not qualify to be an ALS, but if it wanted to participate in the structure, it could and should certainly apply, and the ALAC can apply the criteria. I don't know what "Federal" registration means, as that term has nothing to do with ICANN and thus ALAC. Therefore, the FACTS are: INE Group is not an ALS. Jeffrey A. Williams is NOT a member of the ALAC.
Can we move on? There are a lot of issues open for comment. Anybody want to talk about any of those?

You are a "member of the ALAC"??? In what capacity? What is your title? This is certainly news to me.
And, I'm sorry, but we aren't just looking at a few disgruntled parties but an entire community that is tired of your multiple postings, cross postings, and off-topic postings. When one person is responsible for over 40% of the postings on one list then there is obviously a problem.
I, too, am not your friend and wish to see this cease. If you cannot moderate yourself, then accept moderation from someone else.

John and all my friends,
ALS's do not have accredited groups from the documentation currently available. So, no INEGroup is not and cannot be thus accredited as Jacqueline seems to be indicating. However I am a member of the ALAC and also spokesman for INEGroup, and will likely remain so for the forseeable future.
However INEGroup is registered with the federal registry, and the FEC and has been sense 1998. And our membership is growing! >:) All of our members whom elected me as spokesman are users as well as Domain Name registrants. Ergo as spokesman and as a ALAC member our voices, opinions are expressed through myself or independantly as they apply to only myself accordingly.

Of course not, since it doesn't exist in the reality-based world.
The ALAC rules exist and the Chair has indicated that it will be considered, so I look forward to the ALAC decision, and hopefully a
more
streamlined and productive list with fewer distractions.
I certainly hope so. We have literally decades of experience with
discussion lists, and one of the hard-won lessons is how easily lists
can
be wrecked by one or two disruptive people. After trying every
imaginable
alternative, it's always become clear that there's only one solution, which is to remove the disruptive parties.
It's much easier in this case because the parties in question have a multi-year history of doing exactly the same thing to one list after another. If you don't believe me, look at the archives at the
At-Large
Study Committee list in 2001-2002:
