  Yes Roberto, but according to the original thinking and the ICANN
bylaws it is supposed to be contained within the ICANN umbrella.
So, Chris's point is well taken from that stand point.  However on
January the ICANN "Announced" that proposals for SO's changed
all of that.

  And whom are the experts?  NSI Possibly?  Maybe the IANA? Or is
it the ISOC possibly?  Get the point here Roberto?

 The IETF has already been readying a PSO proposal.  Where have you been?

  The ICANN has yet to be open.  So this diatribe is so much tripe.

  Which DNSO are you referring to here Roberto?  Certianly not DNSO.ORG?
God forbid!

  The ICANN really is not in a legitimate position to propose anything unless
