Danny, if outreach was to be done, why was it not done in the last few years when there were people sitting on their hands on this list and not doing it.
The nominating commitee engages in extensive outreach for the ALAC members it appoints. For the interim members appointed by the board, there was also an extensive informal outreach process. That's how they found me, I had no involvement with ICANN before that. (Well, other than a paper I wrote in 1996, long before ICANN was set up, that invented the registry/registrar division of work.) I have to agree that limiting the solicitations to the tiny set of NA ALS would be a major step backwards from the far from idea status quo. R's, John
