         Here's an example, though, of what Patrick's talking about:  At 
the Cairo ICANN meeting, I chaired a meeting of the working group on new 
TLDs.  About 65 people attended, many (most?) of whom weren't members of 
the working group, but all of whom were interested in contributing to the 
discussion on new TLDs.  Here's a complete list of the folks who made oral 
questions or comments (per http://www.mama-tech.com/wgc/, with then-current 
affiliations):  me, Philip Sheppard (NC), Marilyn Cade (AT&T), Jim Baskin 
(Bell Atlantic), Jamie Love (CPT), Harold Feld (DNRC), Shonna Keogan 
(Register.com), John Lewis (British Telecom), Paul Kane (NC), Martin 
Schwimmer (IP lawyer), Kathy Kleiman (NCDNH), Eric Menge (US SBA), John 
Lewis (British Telecom), Caroline Chicoine (NC), Raul Echeberria (NC), Paul 
Stahura (registrar).  Each and every one of the speakers, with the 
exceptions of Sheppard and Echeberria, was from the United States or 
England.  I remember noting with some rue that ICANN had carefully 
scheduled a meeting in Cairo, Egypt so that the same US/British players 
could fly over there and chat --
