Hi Wolfgang, thanks for your support. As for what regards the ALAC, as
you raise the issue again, it was a structure designed to follow up to
an election which saw participation by 150'000 individuals, and it was
made that way exactly because you can't put 150'000 individuals on a
mailing list or interact with them directly in meaningful ways. So we
came up with this sort of indirect representation model relying on both
formal (NGO) and informal (mailing lists, online campaigns)
organizations - which in fact might be revisited in the future, since
the interest seems to have dropped in the meantime.
Of course things are very different if you need to formalize a working
structure where not more than 20-30 people are active. I think that what
we need to do with this caucus is just to organize it a bit more and
implant a way to get out of deadlocks, while leaving the spirit and
working methods mostly untouched.
