<div>The main reason why almost 20 years ago we fought to create the ALAC and preserve some form of user representation in ICANN after the cancellation of the original At Large election mechanism was exactly to guarantee a voice for the global public interest of billions of Internet users, against possible capture or failure of ICANN's industry self-regulation model. I have rarely seen a case in which that global interest is so clear, so uniformly shared across the community and so loudly voiced. IMHO, failing to act in this case would easily become evidence in favour of those who challenge ALAC's usefulness and ability to fulfill its mission.</div>
