With no attempt to re-word the document here, I propose that the criteria be altered to include the following:

1. If an organization is composed partly or solely of other organizations, either it can be an ALS, or one or more of its component organizations can be an ALS, but not both.

It seems to me that this qualification assumes a hierarchical relationship of organizational structure, whereas the operational reality may be more "networked" and cooperative. I do know that this proposed change would deepen the ambiguity of Canadian organizational participation in ICANN/ALAC/NARALO rather than resolve it. GG
