RE: [ga] 305 Voters

William, might it also be that many users of the Internet think that it just
works, and they are busy running their personal lives, and their businesses,
and they want to take Internet operations for granted?

For instance, I often speak to busienesses through trade associations about
ICANN. Most of the executives and managers whom I brief usually say:  glad
you are paying attention; think that our association staff should. Now, I
have to get back to work. Give an update in about 3-4 months, won't you?

I'm struggling to think about other organizations and how they have
developed "representative democracy".  I think it deserves some more
thoughtfulness.

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?"
