All, FYI, See: http://technews.netscape.com/computing/technews/newsitem/0,290,37201,00.html Excerpts: But those trying to form the most closely watched group--which will represent regular online users and noncommercial interests--were sent back to the drawing board by ICANN's interim board to come up with a better proposal for the formation of their constituency by June 21, sparking controversy among observers. ================= "I am very concerned about sending [the WIPO proposal] to the DNSO constituencies when the only one designed to represent the people with the most to lose from this proposal is not formed," said Michael Froomkin of the Miami University School of Law. ============ "The spirit of the actions taken in Berlin were contrary to the sprit of the white paper--that decisions be consensus based and bottom up. This move on the WIPO paper was top down," said Brian O'Shaughnessy, spokesman for Network Solutions. Note: Many of the participants seemed to share Brian's concern here and have for quite awhile, yet it seems that the ICANN Interim Board cant or won't seem to listen or get it's perverbial act together...
