Re: [ga] Are the Falkland Islands and Bermuda in Europe?

["Richard Henderson" <richardhenderson@ntlworld.com>]

That's the most sensible thing I've read all day.

Local and national At Large / User Groups will develop their own identity,
and it's not really for ICANN to define regional catchment areas at all.

Real participation is bottom up, not top down.

ALAC and its RALOs should be abandoned, and the real At Large - as an
alliance and network of groups - should be left to develop naturally,
meeting the needs of local users, not the needs of the ICANN Board for
legitimacy.


Yrs,
Richard Henderson
