Such a constituency is what Individual Users have asked for since the very 
beginning of ICANN's creation of the DNSO in Singapore.

Was the DNSO itself  dissolved and replaced by the GNSO because its GA had 
voted to ask the Board to consider the IDNO constituency's recognition?

Since then , the DNS user's rights have been reduced to a tenuous kind of 
annual lease, payable on namespace-property that the registrants themselves 
have created.
Without their input in the process, the registrants' reasonable rights of 
secure ownership have been surrendered to an extremist IP lobby and a 
greedy registration industry.

I support Danny and Richard who are again calling for the recognition of 
a  genuine  Individual DNS Users constituency.


Let us see if the history of arrogant  stonewalling followed by rejection 
by ICANN  repeats itself.
