Re: [ga-review] Re: Proposal to Merge the Business and Intellectual Property Constituency

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

Chris and all,

  I am in agreement with Chris here to a very great degree.

  It has been our [INEGroup] position that any and all "Interested
Parties" as put forth in the White Paper and the MoU can and should be
able to participate at any level and in any relevant constituency
in the ICANN process.  However in that the constituency model
has been flawed from the outset, and pits one constituency against
another the DNSO GA becomes a common area or group where
the members of all the constituencies, and those that are not
represented by a constituency should be able to discuss, debate,
and otherwise communicate with each other in an open and
unfettered way.

  However some of the past events which have been imposed upon
the DNSO GA members and participants has not lead us or other
would be "Interested Parties" in participating actively and in an open
and unfettered way.  As such it is our [INEGRoup] belief that until
or unless open participation is accepted and unthwarted rancor will
raise it's ugly head and negatively impact the DNSO and thereby
ICANN.  Therefore it is not surprising that other forums and
organizations are forming or have been formed to air their
positions and disillusionment with ICANN is growing and gaining
support from those that are thwarted through various means in
open discourse within the ICANN structure.
