Re: [ga] Re: Proposal: Establishing a Registrant Advisory Committee

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Danny and all,

  I cannot see any reason why a "Fully-Fledged"
Independent Registrant Constituency cannot or
in fact should not be populated with both commercial
AND non-commercial registrants.  To divide by
structure is to defeat all and/or centralize power and
influence in but a few.  That's not representative.
What the GNSO is now does not represent the
vast majority of Registrants or other non registrant
stakeholders, and never has.

  Frankly IMO, the GA could stand as such a
constituency now, but would need to be recognized
as such and have voting power and the majority of
seats in the GNSO council as well as on the Board.
This scares the hell our of the other Constituencies
and the ICANN Board whom is overly influenced by
the IPC and Business constituency today, and has been
for sense the very onset of the GNSO.
