Re: [ga] On the ALAC's Request for Comments
Vittorio,
I well understand that you were the primary author of the recommendations
regarding the ALAC that eventually came to be adopted in ICANN's bylaws. I
can also understand the pride of authorship and the demands of Chairmanship
that makes it difficult for you to accept the fact that the At-Large
community has no particular love for the tortuous and labryrinthine set of
rules/procedures that you have proposed... but it's time to accept the fact
that there is absolutely no support in the At-Large for this morass of
pointless byzantine complexity.
Does any other established constituency within ICANN need to divide itself
into five separate and distinct regional organizations just so that the
thoughts of the members therein might be conveyed? Why should such
requirements be imposed upon the At-Large when they are not mandatory for
other participants in the ICANN process?
You are singling out the At-Large for disparate treatment in violation of
Article II, Section III of the Bylaws. Your proposed policies and procedures
are inequitable, and they further serve to compromise the integrity of the
Non-Commercial Constituency (as you are expecting these very same non-profits
-- with limited funds at their disposal -- to forgo supporting the NCUC in
favor of bankrolling the formation of your RALOs -- you well know that they
certainly can't afford to subsidize both such efforts as they currently can
hardly afford to continue participating in the NCUC).
It's time to admit that your vision lacks community support and that the only
proper course of action is to petition the ICANN Board for a necessary change
in the Bylaws. If you and the Committee are willing to consider such
revisions, I and others will cooperate in the drafting of a new set of
proposals for adoption by the ICANN Board.
Awaiting your response,
Danny
