They want recommendations and conclusions from us. They say that nothing has been cast in stone yet, although, of course, if you don't move your feet , the cement will harden into a new structure and the representation of the at large stakeholders will be provided top-down. (with all the negative long-term consequences for ICANN and the hapless "representatives") "Oh, well" is not the best answer. My recommendation is that the ICANN Board now take the initiative to invite Individual Domain Name Owners to form a recognized GNSO constituency, its funding provided for in the 2007 and 2008 budget and its internal democracy supervised by the ombudsman and a committee of 3 (elected) Board members. My conclusions are suspended until this happens. Is there anyone here who supports that?

This working draft does not reach any definitive recommendations or conclusions at this time. It is posted to encourage further public discussion and comment, and it does not represent the position of the Working Group, the Board Governance Committee, or the Board. 19 June 2007
