IMHO, the GAC crowd is too large and heterogeneous to come up with a clearly defined policy. At one stage, we need limited number of serious high level diplomats. Now, how they are chosen is a different matter. And a very scary one I do not wish to solve.
Your observations about GAC are right on target, and I've heard exactly the same thing from two different GAC members in the past month. Needless to say, they were in the "higher-level" diplomat status.
How about an evolution of GAC, with a GAC12 council?
How about GZero? I wonder if we have anything like consensus in the caucus on the question: "Does ICANN need governmental oversight?" -- Cheers, McTim http://stateoftheinternetin.ug
