RE: [ga] 305 Voters

["Ladi" <dnso@ladi.net>]

As one quite possibly speaking for my age group/generation, I don't find
it very hard to believe that nobody in the 18-21 (give or take) bracket
seems very interested in entering and dealing with such a highly
politicized area whose importance seems rather limited and where petty
rivalries seem to the be the rule.

My suggestion is to find a way to make domain policy in general a much
more important issue to the minds of the general non-technical,
non-policy-minded public. Most people I've talked to my age (and older)
could not tell you what UDRP is, who ICANN is, the difference between
registry and registrars, etc. Start changing that and you might start
seeing more people interested enough to participate in domain policy
discussions and actions.

Interesting who one sees there and who one does not.
Some people post but don't vote; quite a few more
vote but we never see them post. 305 people speaking
for millions. Amazing!

Is it possible that the purported lack of any "bottom up" operation by
ICANN might arise because it has almost no "bottom?"
