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

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

Subject: [NA-Discuss] Seeking Regional Advice on the application of a new ALS The Association of Internet Users

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
