Dear Joop,
is there an authority to decide for the world if Picasso is a great 
or a bad painter? Naming is of the same nature. ICANN is only a Guide 
which tells the price it advises to pay Picasso painting. The TLDA is 
only a painter association. The MINC is a critic. What is missing is 
a Membuser (there are no member and we are indirect users) 
association to discuss with all of them. When you introduced the IDNO 
you only had the ICANN/DNSO welcome structure, open to constituencies.
Today we have the IGF, covering every ICANN issue and more, which 
works by Dynamic Coalition. If you want to join in the creation of an 
ICANN-GA Dynamic Coalition interested in the ICANN general management 
within the emerging new Internet Governance, you welcome. So is everyone else.
