It doesn't serve any useful purpose to repeat nostrums and empty
formulas, does it? ICANN is supposed to be open to all stakeholders,
but in fact it hasn't been open to any end-users, either of domain
names or of IP addresses. The former have been consistently and
categorically excluded from the DNSO, and the latter have no direct
representation in the ASO. That is the objective reality. Saying
that they are included doesn't make it so.
