[governance] Drop ALAC altogether??

[Ian Peter]

Aah, here we have the heart of it...

Is the purpose of an Internet Governance Caucus to discuss sensible
structures for Internet Governance or to protect existing power structures
available for civil society, however eccentric they may be?

If the latter, as Kieren suggests, can some one point to me a mailing list
where Internet Governance issues are discussed, and can this list be
renamed?

Re: this ALAC / NCUC discussion. 

Are people on this list actually serious?

The civil society Internet Governance Caucus is debating whether it should
cut off one of its own arms within ICANN because it can't decide whether it
should be left-handed or right-handed.

Speaking entirely as an individual Net user here, it's these sorts of rather
insane discussions that mean civil society doesn't have the impact it should
have on the wider stage.

If anything the NCUC and ALAC should be discussing how they can better work
together.
