Without going to details, I see this a little bit simlar to what happened to
AP RALO formation discussion.

On the one hand, we wanted to go fast and establish initial RALO, without
waiting many ALSs to aplly and join, then based on this RALO, we could
further expand and enrich the organization. On the other hand, we wanted
to make sure we have enough "representation" or at least out reach so that
we will not miss those potential players to become real and active players.

The problem was that the minimal criteria for RALO was in a sense so low,
more than three ALSs from more than two contries, it is hard to determine
what is the appropriate level to form a RALO.

I have no clear answer (yet). And I also see this ALS - RALO - ALAC
is a complex layered system, better to simplfy. But as some of us said,
changing the rule of the game while at play is not the best way. Though
sometimes, some games/sports change their rules, within their own legitimate
process and procedures, of course. If you look at how FIFA changed the
"offside" rule, you can still see some confusion and experimentation ;-)

Sorry, nothing definitive, but that's what we are facing, and at one point
we have to decide in onw way or another.

thanks,

izumi
