My opinion on the Consumer Constituency

[Carlos A. Afonso]

Now, this is really too much.

We are of course a bunch of zombie-like followers and cannot see that
the right path is the one engendered and controlled by the ICANN higher
powers (staff and allied members of the board, with the clear path of
ALAC providing the right balance regarding a business constituency
always willing and open to dialogue and agreements).

How silly of me, frequently agreeing with Milton while I should just
join ALAC or open a business and all will be paradise. Wait, I can open
a business and join ALAC at the same time -- after all, I am a user!

Or, I can continue working with my peers at NCUC, Milton included. You
know what, Adam? This is what I'll do.

--c.a.
