[ALSC-Forum] How to distract the At-large

[DannyYounger]

Bruce, 

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that there is no At-Large "out 
there", and that you need to heed the ICANN commandment to "go forth and 
multiply" and create "brand new" At-Large structures.  User associations are 
out there by the thousands.  Just perform a search in any engine and you will 
find them without difficulty.  I found these in a matter of minutes, and 
there are thousands more...

You have been suckered into the ICANN plan to distract the At-Large 
opposition.  While you're taking your sweet time  organizing yet another user 
group, ICANN is busy laughing as they act to totally eliminate the At-Large 
structure and kill off the At-Large directors.  But go ahead and have fun 
with your Charter, your bylaws, and your voting.  Maybe it'll give you 
something to keep doing after the At-Large is finally buried.
