Hi,
Or we may have to realize that the Board's fear of the
community and the FUD about what we might do, is so great that
they will never be able to accept a membership model. The
historical and continuing aversion of ICANN's Board and legal
advisers to the notion of allowing the community to have any
kind of membership may just be part of its nature and something
they are incapable of 'blinking' about. It may be the threshold
ceiling this experiment in bottom up multistakeholder process
can never move beyond. ICANN may, by its very nature and
history, never be able to become fully what it aspires to be
recognized as.
It then may be up to the community to decide to take whatever
crumbs of accountability we can get. One thing I am certain of,
one way or another, ICANN will come out of this process changed.
It will either continue to lead in developing a true
multistakeholder model. Or it may just settle into a slow
decline as another organization that never lived up to its
promise.

Kavouss,
I personally attach a very hight level of support to
the Board,s comments which stem from 17 years of
valuable experience. While I support and appreciate
public comments but we should give special attention to
the valuable comments from the Board and should not put
those comments in the sane basket of any other comment
received from individual .
I respectfully disagree with this sentiment. I give
no greater weight to the comments of a member of the
Board than I do to a comment from the least privileged
amongst us. I give power to the idea, not to the person
or the organisation making it.
Ed
