[ga] are the ccTLDs still in relation with the AmerICANN?

[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

The three options presented by the ALSC for Directors are:

1. 3 from ASO, 3 from PSO, 3 from Provider SO, 9 elected by User SO, 1 CEO
2. 3 from ASO, 2 from PSO, 4 from ("new") DNSO (3 from registries and 1 
from registrars), 9 from Customer SO (4 from organizational constituencies 
and 5 from individual constituencies), 1 CEO
3. 19 'At-Large' Directors working in the best interests of the Internet 
and ICANN, representing only themselves.

Questions:

- do you feel being a customer? for what product?
- do you feel being a Provider? and a Provider for what?
- where are the ccTLDs? gone with the wind?
- where the IP rights, Business Constituency, NonComm... I suppose in the 
@large constituencies?

This would mean that the DNSO and the DNS system would fall under the 
control of VeriSign and of the TLDs... (M$ 200 in five years, you may 
remember). Very appealing: a lot of people are going to want to free the 
net, to unlock Windows and to go open routes.

Interestingly enough all of them should pay.... I was under the impression 
that @large represented the people who already paid? .... would e-democracy 
==  pay-democracy (then I would favor option 3: http://www.gip.org "a group 
of executives from a cross-section of international companies working to 
ensure private sector leadership in the development of the Internet") ?
