Registrants,
 
Why not nominate, get involved make it extremely public and campaign for the 
GNSO and BoD seats to be filled by registrants who are actively involved in 
matters of Internet Governance and ICANN. No constituency necessary. No 
organizational flow charts, no donations ---  Just grass roots push and pull 
and convince and publicize and when you are too tired and do not have time -- 
do it again and again.  Letter writing telephone calls emails and spams music 
and utubes and wikis and faces and twittle
 
Do not owe a soul, be beholding to nunn, Earn IT!
 
Certainly these fellows are extremely qualified:
 
Danny
Joop
Andy
Elisabeth
Karl
Sotiris
George
Chris

Eric and all,
 
  ICANN has made it relitively clear that it doesn't want open and transparent 
Independant
Registrants grouping together in any form of officially recognized body by 
ICANN.

I agree - but who cares. Get them together - drop some money in the bucket - 
and get represented.

ICANN to me right now is a scam wrapped in shit. A lot like the HEX - 
www.inaic.com and www.unifiedroot.com - it's just more sophisticated as scams 
go. A professional civil servant created it. Now handy Rodney is riding the 
bulls back into the stable. Or trying too teoritically speaking which is 
probably more accurate. Meanwhile the Chinese are laughing it up and back at 
the ICANN table. 

There is a need for domains at all levels to have representation at ICANN. 
Taxation without representation is the lowest for of crime known to the U.S. 
courts. ICANN represents an experiment in which the Internet assets of the U.S. 
government - being names and numbers. The people of the United States of 
America have been ripped off by the agreements made between NTIA DOC NSF .. 
etc. etc. etc. .. as the names and numbers hot potatoes get tossed from one 
agency to another. In ICANN there is a clear testimonial the people have been 
ripped off.

ICANN is the absence of innovation afloat in the void of bureaucracy. It's a 
terrible job for an idealist and intellectual.

Hire a lawyer in California: give ICANN an ultimatum to provide board 
representation - as promised in many agreements - and if they don't respond 
properly - sue them for representation.

Thats the only way were ever going to be represented.
