Just for the sake of curiosity, into what local region would you put this global body? Or would you have it split itself up into regional subsets just to accomodate the whims of the ALAC?
We had this discussion already, and I can only repeat what I wrote you then. There is quite a flexibility: my suggestion was either the region where the majority of the members reside, or the region where the secretariat reside. WHich is, if I am not mistaken, respectively NA and EU. Incidentally, may I also observe that the global body has elected officials: Chairman - Hugh Dierker (NA) Vice-Chairman - Sotiris Sotiropulos (NA) List Monitor - Joe Baptista (NA) So, I would have little doubt on where this global body could elect his residence.

Re: more "countable" and "identifiable"
Vittorio,
You are being silly. Like many other individuals you have participated in the DNSO/GNSO General Assembly, a construct designed to aggregate individuals in a cross-constituency platform. These individuals are as countable and identifiable as any of the ALS organizations.
Sure, and I'll be pleased to meet Dr. Baptista, Mr. Williams and other long term participants to the GA (is Mr. Walsh still active?). In any case, I think that the present GA, as a group of users, qualifies as an ALS and should join the At Large.
Further, they usually identify an issue long before the ALAC ever wakes up to the fact that a problem even exists.
Which is exactly why we have ALSes to provide us input on the problems they have at the local level, so I think that the contribution of the GA would be valuable. -- vb. Vittorio Bertola - vb [a] bertola.eu <-------- --------> finally with a new website at http://bertola.eu/ <--------
