[ga] Mr Rutkowski words in the building of the PSO

["Javier Rodriguez" <jrl@mail.lima.net.pe>]

There was a complain, in the time of the PSO building, about how other
stakeholders of the internet didnt have due representation on the PSO
organization.

The suggestion or complain was made by A. M. Rutkowski
former prof of international law, New York Law School
former chief of telecommunication regulations and
   relations between members, counsellor to the
   Secretary-General, ITU

I take the liberty to quote Mr. Rutkowsi (no modification was made
to the IETF Poisson Group proposal that was adopted by the
ICANN as the rules to build the PSO)

Mr Rutkowsi words:
"What is missing, however, is a liaison participatory
mechanism for Internet-related standards bodies and
others who cannot become a MoU signatory.

In the interests of assuring the kind of broad inclusion
of diverse affected constituencies required in both the White
Paper and ICANN's own Bylaws, it is suggested that this proposal
be modified to include additional classes of membership that
allows substantive liaison and involvement by such organizations
and others.

Just to make it clear - the ITU staff can effect liaison and informal 
participation such as exists already in the Government
Advisory Committee of ICANN or with other standards development
organizations.  What it cannot do is to be signatory to an
international agreement which places the ITU in the position
of continuing governance of a private corporation.

Indeed, the entities most affected by PSO are not organizations
at all, but private-sector businesses and developers who make use
of these protocol identifiers in the course of their offerings of
products and services in the marketplace.  It's not clear how these
most important constituents would even participate except in a very
secondary and indirect fashion.  The PSO should be more than just
a means of exercising governance authority and participation in
decision making by standards organizations."

Very clever eh ???  but they were not taken in account by the
Icann board.

(ITU is a governamental and carriers organization and for sure that couldnt be
in the PSO... goverments are intended for the GAC... other thoughts ?)
