Karl, et al...

I believe the DNSO should have a constituency structure. The formation of
Internet Policy is inevitable, even if only to express that the policy
should be "mostly hands-off".

The constituency structure should create a series of checks and balances in
the development of that policy. For example, the balance between free speech
and intellectual property.

I agree though, that we have not achieved the appropriate level of balance
or representation yet.

Perhaps if we could identify the factions than are NOT represented now, we
could make some progress.

> Constituencies:

I suggest that all of the questions you ask about constituencies are
irrelevant until the fundamental question is asked and answered:  Should
the DNSO have a constituency structure?

I, personally, don't have the time to waste on hypothetical questions
until we squarely address that fundamental issue and answer it.
