Roberto, you wrote: "...about extending the representation to all users I would personally take, in the Board, a more flexible approach, and therefore would consider this particular point as negotiable." Please know that neither I nor the organization I represent considers this particular point to be flexible or negotiable. I do not presume to speak for other consumer organizations but my guess is that most would not consider it negotiable either. To the degree you are supposed to represent the interests of ALAC, in my opinion, you do not represent it here.

I am not arguing for or against other plans - I am just pointing out that with one minor wording change, the current BGC proposal would allow the participation of users in the GNSO.
I am 100% with you. And I also reply to Wendy:
Thanks. I never meant to suggest a preference for the status quo over the inclusion of all relevant Internet users. I think at-large should
ask for the representation it would like to see and deems reasonable from this process (not necessarily their pie-in-the-sky dreams, but not the make-do minimum either).
So I think including all Internet users is better than including only some, and including registrants is better than including none.
I did not mean to imply that ALAC should not ask for the maximum, I only tried to explain my position, which is that, while the inclusion of individual registrants is a must, and therefore not negotiable, about extending the representation to all users I would personally take, in the Board, a more flexible approach, and therefore would consider this particular point as negotiable.
