Dear ALAC, while you ponder on the correct procedures to produce a comment on the "role of individual users in the GNSO", comment like this one are appearing: http://forum.icann.org/lists/alac-mid-consult/msg00001.html I don't want to look like the old guy saying "I told you so", but I told you all since when this GNSO restructuring process began that by pushing for the ALAC to have a direct role in the GNSO, you are shooting yourselves in the foot and possibly also in the head. That's because you are giving other interest groups a valid reason for saying "but if they are in fact a GNSO constituency, and they so declare themselves, then why should they also have an AC role and Board representatives?" It's a good thing that you fall in love with the GNSO, and a kiss doesn't harm, but please be sure that she doesn't have HIV or the resulting activities might end with your death. Regards, -- vb.
