Roberto, The real issue is IIC: to evalutate to which degree ICANN has already been captured, while they head for an "Internet for the Rich", and what can competition be, that ICANN is to foster, except for we, the people, to deploy an "Internet for the People" by the people along with international standards and fair trade rules and agreements. As true @large, i.e. Internet lead users, we are interested in four key points : - an Internet (with an anonymised and protected permanent address) for everyone. - an open semantic addressing in continuity with an open, stable, coherent and multilingual DNS - non-captured and intergoverned specialised enhanced cooperations based upon subsidiarity and proportionality principles. - a distributed open IANA and innovative architectural evolution. Todate, I am afraid ICANN is not heading towards any of that directions. I gave yesterday the time constraints france@large has. Will ALAC want to work on something or not. Will GNSO/GA consider the DNS parts of these points ? jfc
