In response to the above statement and the impending demise of this WG, I am
taking this opportunity to offer http://www.InternetStakeholders.com as a
new venue/ channel of communication for those who are interested in
promoting representation for individuals by self-organization, including
members of existing organizations.

There is no agenda here. I welcome all proposals for structure and content
of the site from the most sketchy, to the fully developed and suggest we
start by posting new proposals to separate pages from which members may wish
to develop different approaches in tandem. This is not an "either or"
situation where only one proposal will be available. This is to be a hub for
people to find like-minded individuals and form their own groups and grow,
in whatever way they decide may be appropriate. To that end, aggregated
links to existing organizations would be included as an option for
individuals to find a home for their concerns to be represented.

If any member objects to their comments/ proposals/ links being posted to
the site as part of this process, please reply to this email offlist, in the
absence of which extracts from comments posted to wg-review@dnso.org, may be
used, of course including a byline for the writer.

Thank you for your time,
Joanna Lane
