Hi everyone.
I've just recently subscribed to the list, and I've been quietly reading
these past few days. While I'm new to the list, I'm not a stranger to the
issues, although the list exposes the politics a bit more than some other
sources.
I'd like to ask a simple question -- a question that I think gets to the
very root of at least one or two problems people have been expressing.
And I'd like an honest answer, from Joe Sims, or Michael Sondow, or any
other representatives, current or potential.
I'm just an average guy. I happen to own three domain names, currently.
Nothing special. I don't run businesses. I'm not even sure how I want
to use them, yet. But one thing concerns me:
How and when will I be allowed to have a say in ICANN?
Thanks. I know it's not an easy question to answer, and I've heard lots
of rhetoric regarding the various representative bodies, the non-commercial
constituency, et al. So let's not rehash that, please. I would really
rather hear something that addresses the issue of allowing the common
domain owner to have a voice with respect to ICANN policies.
