RE: [ga] Position Paper for your consideration

["Peter de Blanc" <pdeblanc@usvi.net>]

I would suggest a re-evaluation of the degree of representation on the
ICANN board (ASO and PSO), especially vis-a-vis the financial
contribution level, and the relative contributions to global Internet
(political) policy.

I am afraid, Danny, that I absolutely oppose that. PSO should only tell 
people the nr of the line their protocol has been recorded in. But
mission 
creep is here instead of cross-fertilization catalysis as we observe it.
We 
can say that the Internet protocols do not match the Internet
architecture 
in term of user autonomy and security. IRT ASO, the lack of education, 
concern and involvement of the Global Internet Community through @large
or 
a ASO/GA will probably result in a dramatic situation for real of
several 
magnitudes more important that the fake DNS debate. Billions of cost for

centuries, blocking of the Network, multiple BigBrothers, major
innovation 
delays, ...

So what we can say is that @large presence at SO through a GA is of the 
essence. An SO must be conceived as a governance structure with 
participating constituencies, council, GA, Secretariat, MLs, site,
etc...
