<div><br></div>Sorry, the idea of alternates was raised on the call but
nobody really argued that we should definitely propose this, and one can
readily imagine objections to/issues with the approach. Moreover, if
there were alternates, one could argue (not persuasively, but still...) that
this makes the need for multiple GNSO participants less important. So
the wording was intended to put the idea on the table as something that
might be considered without implying it might be a substitute for multiple
slots. If people think it doesn't work and it'd be better to make it a
stand-alone recommendation, we can do that, let me know.</div>

<div><br></div>I have to defer to Chuck here, it's his number and
suggestion. Obviously, there are registrants (and non-registrants) in
both GNSO and ALAC, some people (e.g. me) participate in both spaces, and
some people are nominally represented by both even if they're not active
participants, so putting people into mutually exclusive boxes doesn't work
and such language can be viewed as murky from some
perspectives...Thoughts?</div>
