I dont understand the idea.
Internet is a world wide concept and the formation of managing societies like ALAC was to my understanding merely of convinience in administration. The concerns of the middle east countries has to be addressed by their At large structures and communicated to ALAC which in turn will communicate it to ICANN. As the role is mere advisory how does it matter as to how the administration block is structured.
ISVK-India fails to buy the idea of creating jurisdiction over the administration of ICANN.
