Hi, One should remember that most people in the world have no idea that ICANN even exists, much less what it does. We techies forget that outside of our little world, no one knows about what we do. If you are not sure about this, ask 100 random people about ICANN. 'RALOs may represent a lot of people, but those people do not know that. Many governments and the UN have only recently begun to grasp the meaning of ICANN in the past few years. It's hard to get volunteers when the pool being drawn from is small because only a relative few know about it and understand it It is sort of like trying to large numbers of people to help solve those PDEs you have. $0.02 --bob On Thu, 19 Jul 2012, John R.

The pattern here appears to be that NARALO members aren't willing to work for ICANN for free. Uh, no kidding.
