Re: [ga] DOT BERLIN -- It's a problem...

Danny and all former DNSO GA members or other interested
stakeholders/users,

As ICANN itself, and so accused by yourself on a number of
occasions, is subjective and caprious in many of it's policy
decisions, what kind of structured approach can stakeholders/users
whom don't have a vote and a voice in setting such policies reasonably
expect that the GNSO council, or the ICANN BoD will be able to
structure an approach which you suggest?

Simply put, ICANN is broken.  Fix ICANN first, than mover
forward or onward from there...
