I tend to support Vanda's and Cintra's views as being more progressive and complementary of the objectives for names and numbers policy development. Case in point: what is The University of the West Indies ALS is led by the ICT Directorate of the UWI. And at the time of accreditation, there was some talk that we properly belonged in the NCSG group of the GNSO which I firmly rejected. The fact is that by virtue of it role in the Caribbean, the several areas of advocacy and the impact of the Internet on execution of those roles, the UWI represents probably the largest group of organized end users there is in the Caribbean; its 55K students. For sure, I have also been the target of many complaints about a bunch of lawyers being accredited as an ALS in LACRALO. Those arguments were summarily rejected as well. - Carlton Samuels ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================
