Nope, not attacked. But judging from the relatively lukewarm response, and the fact the new ALAC chairman is appointing subcommittees and/or allocating responsibilities within the ALAC to help address the problem I thought a "special advisor" could help solve, I'm inclined to just drop the whole thing, I'm too busy with other work to keep bringing it up and re-explaining it. Having worked with Jonathan directly over the last two years on a couple of things, I have a different perspective of his views, at least pertaining to consumer groups. The term "civil society" seems to me a Euro/academic construct that hasn't much meaning among the people I work with, so I don't know how to address it. FYI, Jonathan indicated interest, but hasn't "accepted" anything, since there's nothing to accept. Please call me if you want to go into further details. -----Original Message----- From: Jeanette Hofmann [mailto:jeanette@wzb.eu] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 10:47 AM To: Brendler, Beau Cc: Nick Ashton-Hart; Jacqueline Morris Subject: Re: [ALAC-Internal] Current Nominees / Volunteers List Hi, I hope you didn't feel attacked. I had never heard of these special advisor positions before. I assume there were discussions on the internal ALAC list before the RALO people were subscribed to it? I was curious about both, the specific functions of the advisors and, admittedly, a bit about your choices. Jon Zittrain doesn't think much of civil society engagement in ICANN as he has stated again and again. This is why I wondered why he was suggested and also why he accepted this role. best, jeanette Brendler, Beau wrote:
