Consider for a moment that ISOC, who is convienently holding an
all-chapters meeting in Berlin immediately preceeding the ICANN meeting,
overwhelm the meeting with representitives for all the constituencies.
You would recognize constituencies without offering equal weight to
the input and/or participation of those utilizing the Internet who
are either unable or unwilling to spend the potentially thousands of
dollars(depending on location) to go to Europe?
Recognizing any constituency without the input of those unable to attend
physically would be do a great disservice to those that you purport to
serve.
