I welcome Frederic's efforts, and will submit comments ASAP. However, timing is not unexpected - as constructive changes @ at-large could have taken place long ago, but seem to take place just when the ALAC review is taking place.
I am still concerned with the lack of outreach. If there's one "meta comment" i can make at this moment - is that if indeed ALAC and at- large is supposed to represent users "everywhere" then we really need to get far more people - to know about ICANN, its complex technical and policy issues and find ways to constructively engage on mission specific items.
Over the last year, if i'm not mistaken we've had just - 1 - new group join NARALO. Obviously more would be better. Ideas on how to best grow - would be most welcome.
Well, we've already asked for -- and I believed Nick has budgeted for -- each RALO to attend up to three events to do outreach. So far I've heard that we should be at N-TEN (to reach the NGO community) and CES (to reach the general public). Both of these are in the US. Is there a suggestion of a Canadian conference at which we should be participating? - Evan
