Roberto,

You question is a bit more than information-gathering on behalf of the NC 
Task Force. You appear to argue  that it does make our (re)quest obsolete.
At least you state that the argument for DNSO representation will be more 
difficult to make.
Mind you there was never anything wrong with the arguments. The problem was 
that they were not welcome.

The arguments that it does NOT make our request obsolete (was that the 
purpose of the ALSC draft?) are  compelling and are being made by Leah, 
DPF, Roeland and others here.
We do not have an ALSO and even if it eventually comes about, what 
influence will a bit of @large director election grandstanding  have on DN 
policymaking?

I know some people are hoping the petition for an IC will just go away, but 
as long as  the DNSO and its NC remains in existence and is not 
"obsolesced" itself, the Individual DN holders' representatives should have 
a place on it.

Their activity on the DNSO will be the accountability and the qualification 
that @large members will seek in their elected directors.
Call it a proving ground.
