I have recently joined th na-discuss list on behalf of ISOC-NY, of which I'm secretary. Some background, if I may. We have, for some time, been members of the NCUC where we were represented by Danny Younger. Late last year he stepped down and, while continuing to be a member of the chapter no longer represents us in ICANN affairs. We have, subsequent to Danny's departure, formed an ICANN special interest group http://isoc-ny.org/wiki/ICANN_SIG and two new representatives - Aaron Williamson (works with Eben Moglen) and Erin Simon (NYU Law graduate) - have been recruited. We were invited to join the NARALO by Luc Faubert of ISOC-Quebec in early 2007. There was a long, and occasionally spirited, discussion as to whether this would conflict with our NCUC membership. http://isoc-ny.org/wiki/ICANN_ALC Eventually, with input from many including Wendy Seltzer, it was decided it would not. We are, in fact, yet to actually establish a renewed presence there at the NCUC. It is a higher priority for us to become an active and involved member organization of At-Large. We look forward to hosting further ICANN-related events like our forum on WHOIS a couple years back. http://punkcast.com/1064/ Joly MacFie http://isoc-ny.org At 17:15 2008-06-08, you wrote:
