Danny The interesting thing about At Large is that EVERYONE is an individual user. No matter where they work. When they go home, they are individual users and therefore in that role they are represented by the At large, and can represent the At Large. -----Original Message----- From: Danny Younger [mailto:dannyyounger@yahoo.com] Sent: Saturday, September 29, 2007 14:19 To: ross@tucows.com Cc: At-Large Worldwide; NA Discuss Subject: Re: [At-Large] [NA-Discuss] Results of the Voting for ALAC NominatingCommittee 2008 Appointments Ross, This has never been an issue about "you". Registrars put their own registrar candidates onto the NonCom. Registries put their own candidates onto the NonCom. Every stakeholder group looks to safeguard their own interests by selecting member representatives from their own community to serve on the NonCom. Apparently, the ALAC is not that bright. As far as I am concerned, you and Desiree Milosevic hail from the supplier camp and ultimately the both of you will likely wind up selecting board directors that favor suppliers over users. By the way, your own registrar constituency is now holding an election to determine their NonCom representative... will you also be running for that seat? --- Ross Rader <ross@tucows.com> wrote:

Wendy,

You are correct. Matters were left to the complete discretion of the ALAC, the champion of the user interest, that in its wisdom elected the best possible user representatives from the registry and registrar communities.

Perhaps next year you can elect VeriSign's Chuck Gomes to serve as your user representative.

Danny - please stop repeating this. You've said it many times and its really starting to bother me. I think I've offered a fair explanation of how I will be spending my time in the next few years and that I should be given a chance to participate, as a user.

This was never an issue when you were in the employ of register.com, why are you making it an issue now? I understand that you have issues about the process, but I really don't understand why you are making it an issue about me.
