based in the evaluation of the ALSC recommendations and not discuss

SO. The At Large Membership (some persons prefer name it as ALSO)
should not be a Supporting Organization. The current three SO have
their specific scope and the ALM is the opposite , is a body of
persons with generic interest in ICANN related matters.<br>
<br>
My view is that the ALM should not assume direct policy-making
roles.<br>
<br>
If we consider the ALM just as another SO, then, most of the comments
made in the section 4. ìImpact analysis - Evaluation against
established criteriaî could be valid, but due to the fact that I
disagree with this basic concept, then most of the comments addressed
in section 4 are wrong from my point of view.<br>
I understand that you have focused the document in the evaluation of
the ALSC instead of discuss them.<br>
I think that this format is very strict and don't allow to see clearly
the different points of view.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Conclusions:<br>
<br>
I don't support the conclusions included in this document with
exception of point 5.1 . Is also important to remark that as I
have said before, I donít subscribe what has been included in the
report as the ìKey recommendationî what imply to absolutely change
the concept of the ALM transforming it in a single constituency inside
DNSO with the only difference that this constituency could elect
directly some board Directors.<br>
<br>
<br>
Finally, I'd like to state that the level of participation in the TF
until now has been absolutely insufficient to produce an official
report.<br>

<div>Thanks for cc'ing the list with your structure comments; I share
your skepticism about casting the At-Large as a "Supporting
Organization."</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Will the TF attempt to issue an official report in Accra?</div>
