Dharma, are you interested in helping create a strategy that turns the dissatisfaction you see into an outreach opportunity, one that could increase At-Large's ability to respond to the problems that are being identified? Do you have anything particular in mind?
Here's what I think might work. NARALO identifies people who can speak to the differences from both sides. NARALO hosts a conference call where these parties can each speak their case. The call is facilitated and structured so that each side feels they are getting a fair deal. We promote the call so anyone can listen. We do it fairly soon so that it's timely to the decision making process. We seek a sponsor other than ICANN to foot the cost of the call -- (we can't ask staff to facilitate and host a gripe with staff.) I would be willing to 1) organize and promote such a call; 2) seek a sponsor to foot the cost -- *if* - there is general support for such a move among NARALO members and *if* a couple of others would help sort out who would be best get talking This small gesture could be considered a recruitment effort. If people like how we pull it off they may be inclined to join us.
