Re: [ga] Reminder: ALSC Meeting Webcast Today

["L Gallegos" <jandl@jandl.com>]

I was finally able to get into the bridge to listen in on the second 
half of the meeting.  I found it disappointing in that it is the same 
old same old "how are we going to define the at-large (great 
unwashed)" and "how do we fund it" and "should the users get to 
have half the board seats."  

>From some of the comments from the audience, I got the 
impression that there is a great need for education of the general 
populace out there.  I also got the impression that the committee 
is fully aware of the lack of balance on the board and that the 
greatest portion of the "community" is not at all represented.  

One comment from the panel was that of four categories for 
representation, two are "netizens" and "users."  Netizens are those 
with some knowledge of what is going on and users may never 
even have heard of ICANN, but use the net in some way or are 
impacted in some way (the majority of the world).  Netizens are the 
ones who actually joined or attempted to join the at-large and are, 
in fact reasonably representative of the at-large community.  It was 
pointed out that hundreds of thousands are big numbers and far 
more representative than those in the SOs that select the majority 
of the board now.

Missing the first half was not a good thing.  I hope we'll have a 
replay somehow so that the entire context will be available.  I 
missed most of the panel's statements.

One large question, however, is what is the $450,000 being spent 
on and where is the transparency?
