Re: [ga] ICANN's replacement

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Danny and all fellow members,

  This is a now long standing argument as I think you well know
Danny. And one that has been ongoing from time to time even
before you were involved or began your participation Danny.

  There effectively is no such global organization that can
adequately fulfill the type of structure Richard seems to
envision.  One should or must therefore be built or created,
as ICANN seems to envision the ALSC as that organization,
made up of other user/stakeholder based organizations.

 However Richard is correct in believing that the ALSC
is inadequately structured as it does not allow or provide
for individual stakeholder/user voice and vote on policies
that will or might effect and/or impact them.  Here inlies
where the skewed process and practice of the ICANN
BoD and staff has failed most of all.  It is also where
the ICANNATLARGE.ORG fledgling organization has
shown it will not be successful as well unless the
"Club" mentality of a few Jefsey-election false panel
members changes or others in a legitimate members
determined election process are duly elected.
