Frankly, I have read that material. Are you asking me to reread it?
I guess so, since there seems to be a lack of clarity about ICANN's narrow mission.
And my point is that a sound RALO can be a space for members of the RALO to connect on issues wider than just ICANN, and if we are trly about educating in any meaningful way I dont see how we can avoid that.
So connect, already. We have a mailing list, we have wikis. What do you expect a RALO to do differently? It's going to be the same group of unpaid people.
I just returned from an Open Space event, and we worked together from 9 am til 2 am for three days straight - all of us volunteers and all of us with a social purpose.
That sounds great, but I don't see what its connection to DNS management is. Keeping in mind ICANN's narrow mission, which which you say you are familiar, what social purpose do you expect a RALO to have?
It doesnt sound to me like you see any value in a RALO to begin with. Is that your view?
We covered that in e-mail a couple of days ago, so there shouldn't be any need to repeat it now. R's, John
