ALAC Chair Cheryl is looking for a NARALO perspective

for a workshop

she's presenting at the upcoming IGF meeting in Hydrabad. The subject of the workshop is "Lessons Learned from the Engagement and Facilitation of Internet Users into Policy Development and Processes within ICANN via the ICANN Board's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC)".

If someone from our midst is going, you might want to say a few word at that workshop. Or of anyone has any comments that they'd like to relay to Cheryl on the issue, please do.
