This NARLO does not represent me

[Karl Auerbach <karl@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I reject the idea that the ALAC and this NARALO serve any adequate purpose of 
representing the needs and interests of internet users, including myself.

ICANN's ALAC is a contrivance that insulates rather than represents, that 
excuses rather than advocates.

The ALAC and the RALO's, including this NARALO are a sham.

ICANN is costing the internet community in excess of $400,000,000 every year in 
excessive DNS registration fees.  Yet all that internet users get for this 
money is the right to join what amounts to an ICANN managed ALAC.

Despite years of ICANN infusions of cash and cheerleaders, the ALAC has never 
garnered any real interest from the internet community; in fact the ALAC has 
been rejected as the company union that it is.

I recommend that internet users shun this NARALO for the simple reason that it 
is nothing but an empty facade on top of another empty facade, the ALAC.

It is time that ICANN ends this charade, ends this ALAC, and returns to its 
original promise to let the community of internet users elect a majority of the 
seats on ICANN's Board of Directors.
