I think Kieran is a man, Eric, but when he comes
round to dinner, tell him he's welcome to come round and have a meal with me
too, providing he brings a bottle of wine...
I liked the little article in your link by Denise
Michel about ALAC. It is interesting that you need accreditation to participate
as an individual user in ALAC... oh yes, and you're not allowed to just be an
individual user. People who are just individual users are not wanted in ALAC.
You have to belong to an organisation which is vetted by ICANN... how dumb is
that? An individual users' structure which locks out individual
users...
Of course, ALAC was only invented, because ICANN
expelled the Board representatives who had been democratically elected on a
one-person-one-vote basis by actual individual internet users, and ICANN needed
to create a facade of continuing participation, while stopping individual users
from congregating in their own right within the ICANN structures.
You can see that ALAC is a facade, because not a
single message has been posted by individual users (or anyone else) for over 135
days.
But Kieran can discuss all these matters when he
comes round with the wine, or better still, a bottle of
Glenmorangie...
