ccTLDs should have complete control over their policies, domain or 
otherwise.  The DNSO should continue to have the same concerns 
it has had.  I see no shared responsibility over "multiple" SOs.  If 
that were the case, why would the ccTLDs need a separate SO?  
As I have said before, the DNSO needs to be restructured to allow 
a more balanced participation.  It does not change the focus or 
mission - domain names.

The at-large OTOH encompasses the whole enchilada.  The ccTLD 
SO may also encompass more than just domain names, as well 
as being autonomous and having the right to participate or not in 
the ICANN process.  The fact that most of them choose to 
participate is good for ICANN, whether they adopt all or some of 
ICANN's policies.  They, also need a stronger voice.

I hope the board gets the message.
