If, however, this happened the situation would at least get clarified finally. ICANN would become an organization top-down driven by the board and two registry/registrar constituencies. Without necessary ballast. By the way, the current 15 ALAC members are at least five times more than active GA members :-)) Dominik -----Original Message----- From: JFC Morfin [mailto:jefsey@jefsey.com] Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2008 3:07 PM To: Dominik Filipp; Evan Leibovitch Cc: At-Large Worldwide Subject: Re: [At-Large] Who's ashamed?

As you know, one could claim that the ALAC is a way to strangle the DNSO/GA who motionned against that agreement and has been set-up in a way this cannot happen again. When ALAC becomes too "active" the solution is to redowngrade it to the GA level. 15 ALAC members are roughly the equivalent of the GA Membership, with similar influence. jfc
