    Jon,
    I disagree. As far as I am aware, the ERC asked Esther Dyson (a member the ALOC - At-Large Organizing Committee, and former member of the ALSC - ICANN At-Large Study Committee) and Denise Michel (coordinator of www.at-large.org,
    At-Large Organizing Committee, and former Executive Director of the ALSC) to identify a small group of individuals to provide assistance in defining how an ALAC could be created and what it should do.

    Dyson and Michel asked for volunteers from the ALOC, and the ERC subsequently *appointed* these individuals, in addition to Dyson and Michel, to help craft this report as members of the Assistance Group.

    So given that Bret sits on the ERC, he did, in fact, participate in the selection of those whose task it was to endorse the disenfranchisement of the At Large.

    Regards,
    Joanna

    Nonsense!

    Judith and Joanna are spreading FUD. Some people -- and it seems like Judith and Joanna are joining them -- are portraying everyone who not blindly oppose everything coming from ICANN as the Dark Side.

    Judith writes: "Bret didn't have a hand in the report except to help hand-select the people who wrote it." -- nonsense. ERC asked Esther and Denise, Esther and Denise asked on the ALOC list and invited several people.

    Joanna writes: "So given that Bret sits on the ERC (...)" -- nonsense again. Bret is not an ERC member, he is one of eight members of an assistance group writing a report on gTLD policy development. Even if Bret was a member of the ERC, this "participation in the selection" approach is silly -- the ERC did not choose or appoint the ALAC-AG members except for Denise and Esther.

    I hope that both of you apologize.
    / Alexander
