I also agree that the At Large should not be described as
<br>an At Large organization. If it is so labelled, then it becomes
<br>equivalent to the other SOs, each of which represents a
<br>special interest. Rather, the At Large is supposed to represent
<br>the public.

The current three SO have their specific scope and the ALM is the opposite

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.</font>
