I agree that some effort has to be spent in order to bring more people in 
the DNSO.
Once upon a time we had WG-E: Chon managed to do a huge work, but 
unfortunately we never went past the stage of the analysis, and the only 
recommendation that has been ever put into practice was the induction 
session at the beginning of the ICANN meetings.
Hopefully, if we can manage to have a more multilingual approach, following 
the work of the SLT Task Force, we may have more interest from the 
non-english-speaking community.

Roberto
