Also responding to Darlene: I think the role of Chair is to foster construction dialogue which of course would require some meaningful knowledge of the various issues that concern the At Large. I would hope that the specialized knowledge that I lack (which is considerable) would be provided by the other NARALO members and participants, and that it would be my facilitation skills that would function to advance the group's objectives and allow NARALO to make meaningful contributions to the work of the ALAC and ICANN.

My question to all that are running would be: Each one of you has had a specific focus and/or expertise in your prior NARALO participation. How will you ensure that, should you become elected, you will provide well-rounded leadership in a wide variety of issues that you may not have been involved in previously?
Collegiality. The set of individuals who compose the ALAC changes over time, and many bring with them years of prior work in technical and policy areas, and with that experience, subject matter expertise. The service of each is voluntary, uncompensated, without material interest and therefore, conflicts of interest. Absent regard for others as colleges and the commitments of each to contribute to network policy through the advice process during their limited tenures, there is no means to provide the advise to the corporation board for which the ALAC was created.
