Danny,
here are good and reasonable questions.

The main point is that the ICANN would lose legitimacy if closing the
DNS support organization - what left as an alibi for them to exist?

Yes. This is partly the case today with representants.

Let be pragmatic. We have to accept anything which makes the DNSO
survive and the GA to take influence. We will the proceed from there.

Absolutely. Once in the NC we will be in position to help the
creation of the missing constituencies: Registrants, Internet Users,
SMEs. Designers.

This is a very complex issue as itis necessary to have a global consensus
on the need of an Internet governance analysis first. Otherwise is building
on sand.

IMHO our priority is to get the DNSO into the network age: to have it sign
an MoU with the ICANN, to incorporate and welcom the missing constituencies.

First survival and organization. Then outreach.
