1) Accountability would be certainly better achieved if there is some
natural link or channel between the elected AL board members and the
voting base. This is aimed in the ALSC proposal. It is certainly not
achieved today with the current process, in which the at-large role is
only to vote once a while. There is no point to fight for 9 Al directors
if there is no mechanism for accountability. 

2) From others' contibution, there is a big confusion between the
NCDNHC, which is made (supposely) from non-commercial ORGANISATIONS, and
the At-Large which is made from individuals. If NCDNHC starts to behaves
like an At-Large, that would mean that the constituency is voiced only
by individuals rather than organizations.
