except maybe the people that it appoints at ALAC members :)

Anyway, the EURALO was formed in March this year, and some people were 
really in favour of introducing individual membership, while others were 
really against. A few people (including Wolfgang and I) proposed a 
compromise, to give to the first Board of the EURALO the mandate to work 
out a practical proposal to allow for individual members and to let them 
participate in electing representatives, to be discussed in the first 
EURALO general assembly. Then the Board and Chairs were elected. That 
was 6-8 months ago.

Now, as a member of the EURALO Board, I am still waiting for the Chairs 
to start the discussion, for example by calling for a meeting or posting 
a message whatsoever (there was an attempt to have a physical meeting in 
Warsaw, back to back with the Studienkreis, but ICANN did not accept to 
fly 11 people there and suggested that work could first be conducted 
online). I encourage them to do that asap, and get to work. That would 
be a productive contribution to advancing the cause of individual 
membership in the At Large (something that, honestly, posting to this 
list is not).

If this does not happen, I will support Danny's suggestion to dissolve 
the EURALO.
