[ga] Re: [council] gTLD CONSTITUENCY

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Eric and all remaining assembly members,

  I agree that more inclusiveness with respect to the registry industry
to which Roger and Milton were referring to here is paramount.

  We now have New.Net, anlantic.net and other registries in operation
that are not "ICANN Accredited" but are indeed growing part of the
registry industry and ICANN needs to reach out to them else risk future
fragmentation of the Name space as well as Diminishing ICANN's 
presence and potentially suffer a breach of contract problem 
with DOC/NTIA in accordance with the DOC/NTIA due to excluding
"Interrupted Parties" to which the MoU and White Paper requires...

So, while the registry industry may well need and get a broad trade association, we did not feel that the " DNSO Constituency " was the venue for it; and
