Well, I MIGHT be asking that. I'm not sure what the At-Large has to do with managing ORG unless it's to bring an individual end user perspective or a kind of generic "public interest" perspective. It SEEMS that what should be asked is for participation by their nonprofit customers, no?

Subject: Re: [CPWG] PIR: Why an At-Large Board Member?
 
I don't think that is the question Jonathan is asking. It is not why WE think we should be there or even why we think we would do a good job. It is why THEY should select us over other possible community representatives?

Hello Jonathan, all

The "why At-Large" in this context can perhaps be  likened to what eventually made At-Large to have a single Board member on ICANN Board.

If At-Large believes that her voice is important on the "new" PIR decision table, and that it will be through Board representation, I don't see anything wrong with making that clear from the start. Contributing towards getting a generic block of slot with a "later" tag on its allocation won't be strategic IMO

I recognize it feels natural in our comments/advice to suggest someone from At-Large be on the PIR board but again I feel it prudent to ask, why At-Large? Why wouldn’t we ask that 1/3 of the board members be representatives of 501c(3) non-profits or ASBLs from Brussels? Those same people might be in the At-Large but that wouldn’t be why they are on the board of PIR.
