Thanks Amber for the professional PR effort. 
 
I understand the whole saga now a little bit better. However my two questions remain unanswered. 
 
You say that 20 organisations are behind you but you can not disclose their names now. Why not? It would give your application more strengths if people would know who is behind you. Unavoidly you feed a motion of "conspiracy" with this type of secrecy. Transparency is a key principle within ICANN. If you start your journey into the ICANN family by ignoring the principle of transparency this would be very bad. So please give us the names of the 20 organisations. Probably it would be useful if you would look into the open and transparent procedure how ALAC recognizes its members, the "At Large Structures" (ALSs). lt would be also ngood to clarify your psoition with regard to the At Large Community in ICANN. 
 
I am also not satisfied with your answer to my second question regarding outreach. You say this is "a journey, not a destination". Okay, but just listing the "underserved" regions without any concrete report about previous activities in these regions and a plan about forthcoming activities or at least a list of contacts to organisations, individuals etc. is just bad blabla. Also here, please give us more concrete details.
 
Thanks
 
Wolfgang
