The allocation of the seats on this committee is done, not much point in complaining about it now.
I think there actually *is* a point about complaining about it, John. I agree with Evan's comments and am myself also surprised about the composition of the A&T-RT committee. The current result is actually upsetting. Some constituencies at ICANN have made it a habit to engage in aggressive action to make their voice heard. Perhaps should At Large study ways in which it could flex its muscles too? Otherwise, we risk ending up as the bullied kid on the block. Perhaps should At Large ask the A&T-RT selection committee for a reconsideration to increase its number of seats? In addition, I would also like to remind you all, that we should not at all be satisfied either re: having only one Board voting seat, and we should continue working (dare I use the word "lobbying"?) tirelessly to obtain a second Board seat as soon as possible. Some specific members of the current Board nixed this initially. One day, they'll be gone. Kind regards, Olivier -- Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond, PhD http://www.gih.com/ocl.html
