[ga] Splinter groups

[Derek Conant <dconant@dnsga.org>]

In my opinion, the best mechanism for advancing the development of
policy and standards is one that includes many splinter groups.
Splinter groups, may provide the best mechanism for managing the large
quantity of comments, opinions and information contributed by
individuals and organizations willing to participate in advancing the
development of policy and standards.  How else is ICANN and its SO later
going to manage large quantities of comments, opinions and information
contributed by individuals and organizations willing to participate?

An organization or group with its own constituencies and consensus is
able to assist in the management of information and expedite the process
of developing and contributing constructive consolidated opinion derived
from its constituency to the decision making body (ICANN and its SOs).
This also allows the freedom for interested parties to flow from one
organization or group to the next which may sustain one's momentum and
interest to participate in these processes.

A splinter group that is not productive, or one that does not produce
constructive results, simply will not have a significant impact on the
topics or matters at issue.
