Why would you bother? To try to look smarter than everybody else in the entire world? I hate to tell you what statements like that do to your already shaky credibility.

In her own right and not representing ANYBODY ELSE in the entire universe.

Re: What other reason is there for the existence of the RALO/ALS infrastructure except to nurture a community of Internet users that has enough sufficient interest to know about ICANN?
Totally wrong. The ALAC/RALO mess was created solely as a sop upon the elimination of all At-Large directors from the Board following the Accra decisions. The ICANN spinmeisters tried to convince the civil Society crowd that even after their heinous action there was still some kind of value in "participation without representation".
The smarter groups, like CDT, walked away from the process rather than countenancing this type of abuse; we were left with only the more feeble-minded orgs to build the byzantine mess that now pretends to be the at-large community.
