Re: [ga] What Else is New? DNSO/BC's suicide

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Patrick and all assembly members,

  I think you paint a pretty bleak picture of ICANN here, perhaps
too bleak.  None the less your response is wandering off the
topic as well.  Perhaps that habit is a contributing factor
to ICANN's trouble's?  Food for thought at least....

  The BC on the other hand seems to be definitely broken or
at least extremely biased against what and whom it is supposed to
represent and a constituency.  This is not however surprising.
the whole Constituency model for the DNSO is ill conceived
point in fact.  Many stakeholders know this all too well.
The reasons for these problems with the constituency model
for the DNSO have been discussed in some length on this forum
before.  They were not addressed.  They shall continue, if not
worsen.

  Constituencies, in order to work, need to be independent of
ICANN as a corp. sibling or sub organization.  They should be
completely separate from ICANN, self forming, and independent.
