Hi All As Judith has pointed out that John LaPrise has been an Unaffiliated Member of NARALO but he has formulated a valuable US based organization that serves as it`s mandate the protection of the end-internet users. This is a space that is ignored by ISOC and other groups and it has alot of potential to grow and prosper. We need to recognize that it`s in it`s infancy and overtime it can play a significant role in helping raise awareness in the US on Internet issues I support the application Glenn McKnight Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn@gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight .

All,
This is just a reminder that the deadline is approaching for regional advice and I have only heard from one ALS. Since this is an unusual situation where the main contact person for the ALS is already an active Individual member people should feel free to email me directly their opinions on whether to accept or reject this ALS. Currently there is no procedure for suspension of an application or for asking the applicant any questions directly, but all these are great ideas for the future as we are currently revising the ALS Criteria. Do please let me know what your thoughts are. You can write me or Glenn directly. Looking forward to hearing from you
Best, Judith

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [NA-Discuss] Seeking Regional Advice on the application of a new ALS The Association of Internet Users Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2016 13:19:45 -0400 From: Judith Hellerstein <judith@jhellerstein.com> <judith@jhellerstein.com> Reply-To: judith@jhellerstein.com Organization: Hellerstein & Associates To: NA Discuss <na-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org> <na-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org>
HI All,
We are seeking Regional Advice for a new ALS, The Association of Internet Users has applied to be an ALS in NARALO. They are brand new organization and as such they have not done any events but seems to be a very promising organization and they seem to be committed to supporting the concerns of individual Internet users' and we think would make a good addition to NARALO. The organization is chaired for by John Laprise a NARALO member. The ALS criteria team is still working on creating new criteria for ALSes and also on what will be required so we are still using the old process. This application and the due diligence that was conducted were done under the old process and the old criteria.
I have attached this application to you for your review. I would appreciate it everyone could review this document and send me any comments or thoughts on this new ALS by August 19. When you write me, please state the ALS you are representing and if you support or oppose the addition of the Association of Internet Users to become an ALS in NARALO. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best, Judith Hellerstein NARALO Secretary
