Darlene. In my point of view, you have had an unfortunate participation. You can make a comment but is no neccesary include others in her comments. The lack of respect showed by you is unacceptable. On the other side I want to say you, that the realities are very different in differents regions, and our needs, sure, are not your needs and, Internet is property of all of us including LACRALO people. And more. It`s impossible to "know the job", for the end users of other regions when the participation is only possible in one languaje, the yours.

I really just think that ALAC is trying to placate the other regions - which will just get us loaded down with people that don't know the job. I *hope* that Jose does a good job but I just see the two ALCRALO ALAC reps (who championed for him) as constantly complaining about language issues and getting nothing else done. Anyways, I'm just venting here. I just hope that you don't get discouraged and that you keep on with your e-mails. They are appreciated (at least by Evan and myself) even if you don't get much feedback.

Have you considered that perhaps ICANN has been beating the new gTLD> drum for so long, the local community simply has other concerns?Well, sure. ICANN's job is to manage the DNS root and to hand out IPspace. People have all sorts of other concerns, but they're not whatICANN does.A more relevant question is why, in view of ICANN's extremely narrow job,it costs $100M/yr to do it.Regards,John Levine, johnl@iecc.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies",Information Superhighwayman wanna-be, http://www.johnlevine.com, ex-Mayor"More Wiener schnitzel, please", said Tom, revealingly._______________________________________________At-Large mailing listAt-Large@atlarge-lists.icann.orghttp://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/at-large_atlarge-lists.icann...
