Re: [alac] Transfers Assistance Group

[Izumi AIZU <izumi@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Thomas for your update.

I just came here, Busan, Korea 2 hours ago, trying to
make regional outreach by attending APNG (Asia Pacific
Networking Group) and AP* (Star) meeting tomorow and
Monday where I will talk about AtLarge, will discuss
regional formation together with some key folks from Asia
Pacific Internet community.

About 2 weeks ago, I went to Beijing and met China's
Ministry of Information and Industry and CNNIC people
to talk a little bit about regional AtLarge formation.
We agreed to keep good exchange of information.

In Asia, we feel it is very difficult to only rely on self-motivated
individuals to form AtLarge, and thus trying to talk with government
and industry to have their support. I know this approach may be
quite different from some folks in US or Europe, but if we are
only focusing on "active" individuals, we may end up with a
very very few people who may claim to represent the whole
Internet users, but I don't think that may work in some areas.

But do not misunderstand, please. We are NOT inviting
industry or government folks to take any lead role or
direct involvement, but good support. We may try to reach
out professionals and experts who may best asses and
represent users benefits - some lawyers, economists and
other scholors, for example.  Of course, your comments
and suggests are very much welcome.
