Re: [ga] ICANN Meeting in US in 2002?

[Rick Wesson <wessorh@ar.com>]

IMHO, ICANN spends too much time running around the globe, also the only
folks that show up to all the meetings are extremely well funded.

To a small registrar attending all the ICANN meetings can cost 5 figures.
not to mention that decisions get made at these meetings, unlike the IETF
where the meetings are optional and the decisions are made on the e-mail
lists.

all in all, ICANN hasn't been designed for maximum participation and thats
one thing I'd like to see changed.
