If the CCWG Proposal is a "power grab" then it's the sorriest excuse for one I've ever seen. It is almost exclusively a proposal for greater defensive rights in reaction to ICANN Board/corporate actions, and would hardly put "vested self-interested special interests ("ICANN stakeholders" or "lobbyists")" in charge of the enterprise. Whenever I consider China's views on Internet matters I always recall all the websites that I could reach from the meeting rooms in Beijing but was blocked from reaching when in my room in the venue hotel next door. That's the Internet we don't want. Philip S.
