would it not be time to call things by their name? Democracy has nothing to 
do with all this - I do not ask my telephone to be democratic but to work. 
We are the users of an inter-user system. If we are happy, the system will 
continue, if we are not we will change systems. As the entry point is our 
computer, it will only be a new network generation for us to inter-relate 
(actually the end of the root server system).

Usually no one cares about ICANN, so democracy is a good thing. Now Stuart 
Lynn has changed that. He said to the public: "I am the ICANN; I am in 
charge of your Internet, I am not happy with the system's weaknesses". That 
will interest the people and the press. Great!

The press will come in MdR. This is the best thing which can happen to the 
Internet: the world to see the way ICANN manages to be *the* weakness of 
the most resillient network architecture ever. Nothing is more urgent that 
this education. From there on, all the pending issues will be reniewed and 
priorities up-dated.

Enjoy: SMEs, individual DN holders and individual users will not be 
discussed, they will decide (the one who hacks the ICANN site during this 
security meeting will make head lines and decision).
