I do not agree. All SO elected directors are really elected and
accountable. I do not feel that it is the case today for the at-large
elected ones, since the atlarge is completely undefined and unorganized.
My point is not to argue about figures (6 or 9 for instance), but to be
sure about the real accountability. To me, the ALSC goes in the right
direction and answer all 5 questions which he had to answer.

I agree the NCDNHC may have more common interest with the atlarge, but
they still should be distinct. NCDNHC is made, in principle from
organisations. At Large is made from individuals. It would be naive to
think that individuals and non commercial are identical.

See remark above. I certainly do not agree with this last statement.
There is to much opposition between commercial vs non commercial in all
ICANN debates. This is biaising the whole discussion in everything. I am
afraid that it is also going to biais the current DNSO director election.
