"If there is any willingness"

"Organise themselves."

One would think, that since ICANN is almost 100% funded by taxes on  
Registrants, that ICANN should be paying for the "organising" for  
Registrants from those taxes?
Registrants shouldn't have to "prove" they need a voice in the ICANN  
process. "Willingness to create"?. They're already PAYING for the  
process, for chrissake.
Ten years of taxation without representation.

Shameful.
