Very fun song that goes -- "nobody walks in LA", it is just too pedestrian to 
walk where people are so cool.
Very strange elitism in this IRT. It is just too pedestrian to drive your own 
car in MDR.
 
The draft product is very "intellectual property", no netizen, dotcommoner, 
consumer or even domain name holder group present. Total lack of Ralo or Alac. 
Don't see a GAC or a ccTLD or a WTO. Do see Microsoft, Yahoo, Go Daddy and Net 
Sol.
 
If I were running any policy stuff at ICANN I would bring these people to the 
table. As it is I would rather cozy up to the fire and read the latest edition 
of Blacks Law Dictionary.
