[ga] Re: How do you "rebid" a cartel ?

Dear Jim;
please let be practical, please.
We all agree you are right in rooting the problems in the IP address 
allocation (I the real real root of the problem is the IP adressing itself, 
ie the routing approach and the arhictecture of the system). But we are 
stuck with it for a few years before we can design, test and rebuild an 
serious system.

1. you never replace anything, you build in parallel and outdate the 
previous solutuion. A "rebid" is not a target but a concept to make clear 
to the press why the Govs of the world do not believe that the DoC can 
believe the Staff/BoD when they tell there is a consensus. We are here far 
beyond the ICANN oddities and problems (everyone knows how to address them, 
they just want to get/keep more than their due from the revamp)

2. rebuild in parallel calls for a clean sheet to:
a) make the current architecture reliable and use "IPv8"
b) and or build and implement a parallel reliable architecture for data, 
phone, TV, radio, automatisation, interactive cessions, huge files, 
authentification, private virtual distributed systems, etc... with serious 
value added features and extended services.

In both cases we need tio call on true and real professionals. The first 
step is to gather a think-tank of that level, with the task to decide 
if/how this is possible, to plan a strategy and define its milestones.

Do you want to be one of them? Would you be able to gather a few others on 
a moderated list?
