Subject: Why isn't the PSO listed ?


>One would expect that a major ICANN meeting would

>followed by a Board meeting. (with a Board selected/elected
>by ALL Three groups...which is not the case with ICANN)

>Why does the GAC command the same status as the DSO and ASO ?
>Why is the DSO GA singled out from the other DSO parts ?
