My feeling is that ALAC does not exists. I think only the ALS and may be the RALO have a legal setup, as such can be involved in legal proceedings.
Also, I would query if the ALAC appointees are protected against lawsuit during the course of their business at ALAC.
I fear the legal route may be forbidden to ALAC, but it would not stop ALAC to release publicly an opinion on the matter.
Cheers
I agree in principle - to hear from all sides, and then make a sound
judgement based on our mission - to reflect global individual users
voices on this issue and within ICANN's mandate.
If we are part of ICANN decision making process and are on the
Board of ICANN, yes, we are very much responsible for the decisions
it made, but if we are an advisory, that is, to some degree, different.
In any case, we should consider this case on our own merit, and
if we think ICANN has made a mistake, we should not hesitate to
say so with firm material. BUT if not, we should not just jump in.
