When the .MOBI domain was set up, they established a policy advisory board to give them advice on managing the domain. Along with the various industry people there's an NCUC seat currently held by Milt Mueller, a general user seat held by Vittorio, and an ALAC seat held by me. (The differnence between the ALAC seat and the user seat is pretty vague, as I recall Vittorio and I originally flipped a coin to decide who'd be which one.) The members are reappointed annually, so I'm asking the ALAC if they're willing to have me continue. The PAB is a low-intensity operation. We have a conference call every month or so, and the occasional meeting, sometimes at an ICANN meeting, sometimes not. What I've done as the ALAC rep is to add requirements to .MOBI email to include the current best practices to discourage abuse and to allow more accurate spam filtering. I have also, with less success, argued against ad-filled parked pages since for most users those are worth than useless, particularly on plans where you pay by the bit for each page you retrieve. Unless someone else has a deep interest in mobile telephony, I'd be happy to stay on for another year.
