>
> 1.) Currently the ICANN has yet to establish a membership, which was
> supposed to be a priority of the ICANN BoD. This priority has
> evidently
> changed and therefore opens up the ICANN to capture by special
> interests without a proper mandate by the stakeholders

> changes are not in the best interest of the ICANN (Without a
> membership)
> and open to detrimental broad impact on the stakeholders.
>
> 2.) The changes that are proposed by the ICANN BoD would in effect
> permanently exclude or disenfranchise active participation in
> ICANN
> itself unless those stakeholders are members of a SO or
> constituency
> associated with an SO. As such many if not most
> stakeholders have
>
> no voice or vote in their own futures or the futures on the
> internet of
> their associated businesses or organizations.
