I'm generally OK with the MOU, but share Luc's questions.
1. Are we really going to get away with the MOU's parag. 6.4? 2. Why do we need parag. 6.5?
I agree that 6.5 is unnecessary. My group is involved as an ALS to represent the POV of its membership, and cannot pretend to do more than that. While our goal is public progress, we do that through the advancement of a specific form of advocacy and don't claim to represent all viewpoints. The "benefit of the general public", while it may be implied, is well outside the explicit scope of any relationship between my (or any other specific) group and ICANN. - Evan
