The point I'm trying to make is: If we've all accepted the multistakeholder model, how is it that the local ALSes and individual Internet users (residents and organizations as well) are left out of the decision making process?

But are we? ALS's and individuals can join RALOs, who inturn can influence the ALAC, who advise the ICANN board. Or do you mean locally? Well, we elect our representatives on the NYC City Council, who are subject to their constituents, at least in theory. There was an advisory board for .nyc. It hardly met, and the meetings it had were closed. You were on it. It could've done something to break its chains if the will was there, surely. j -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast -------------------------------------------------------------- -
