I agree with the points made by Olivier and Carlton. I'm prepared to respond to Eric, but am waiting for one of two things: - that his questions be duly posted on the Questions and Answers Workspace, - or that I be told by Staff, on behalf of Tijani, that Eric's questions are to be responded to in the Questions and Answers Workspace, even if his questions are not posted there. Thank you.

I seriously doubt if the case that " Eric is not an at-large member' is good and sufficient to ignore his questions. In fact that criteria is misplaced and fundamentally at odds with the conceptual underpinnings of the At-Large's in the ICANN community and the ALAC's role in ICANN operations and governance. The At-Large is recognized as the home of the ordinary internet user in the ICANN ecosystem. While we have embraced a certain organisational framework as a management tool, active participation of any internet user in ICANN policy development is the bottomline objective So long as Eric Brunner Williams is an internet enduser and while he remains within the framework of acceptable conduct established by the At-Large thru ALAC, there can be no other membership criteria for participation. You may use other [valid] criteria to reject broadcasting his questions. And candidates have an absolute right to ignore him and not answer, again for various and sundry reasons. But a status of membership or membership criteria may not be employed as disqualifiers. And I say this as one who has been unfairly maligned by the said Eric Brunner Williams..

A point was raised by Alan about regional factors, and Eric replied by addressing the questions to the individuals, rather than in their regional capacity. Do you intend to post Eric's questions, to be replied to in the same format as Eduardo's questions? Thank you.
