Vany and all, Interesting thoughts and they should be expanded upon to be sure. It is the very nature of "Constituencies" to divide and therefore create to one extent or another "Divisiveness" as to the point of also creating "Special Interest Groups" within the structure of the DNSO. This was in our [INEGroup's] opinion a very bad and destabilizing act on the part of the ICANN (Initial?) Interim board. It appears that this sort of divisiveness is underway at a rapid and destructive pace, hence leaving many organizations, such as you mention below in your comments nearly no real place of very little place of determination in the policy decisions that will in the future effect all stakeholders of the Internet.
