[ga] IPC on ALAC
Steve Metalitz, in providing the "IPC Response to ALAC Assistance Group
Report", makes the following comment in one of the footnotes:
"The report seems to suggest that a regional at-large structure with as few
as 200 individual members could be accredited to exercise responsibilities
including direct appointment of a member of the Nominating Committee. This
number appears far too low to justify a claim of representativeness of the
range of "individual Internet users" from any region, and certainly from
regions in which there are tens or hundreds of millions of such Internet
users."

As of March 2002, the IPC had only 66 members. Certainly this is far too low
a number, even by their own standards, to justify a claim of
representativeness for intellectual property holders worldwide. Accordingly,
as they have noted indirectly that their own membership roster is
insufficient in size to exercise the responsibility of providing an
appointment to the Nominating Committee (being well below the 200+ they posit
as a requirement for At-Large organizations), I ask the ERC to eliminate the
IPC as an entity that participates in the NonCom process.
