Well, a couple of months ago one of the current ALAC members opened a 
thread denouncing that ISOC could be taking over the At Large, and so 
suggesting that further applications for At Large participation by ISOC 
chapters should be considered with special care. Of course almost 
everyone else disagreed, but I suspect that being a member of the 
"Internet community" could become an automatical disqualification for 
participation in ICANN's user constituencies as well.
