Re: [ga] Notes from LSE Call yesterday

["kidsearch" <kidsearch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any proposal that does not allow for more than half of the influence and
decision-making process to be representative of individual users lacks the
abilty to represent users properly.

The idea that the registries and registrars, even combined, have more or
even equal say on things as individual users have is ludicrous in my honest
opinion.

Millions of individual users should have more say than a few business
representatives.

I cannot support a system that does not believe that the rights and needs of
individual users, BY THEIR OWN VOICE, outweighs the rights of registries,
registrars, IP interests, business owners, ISPs, etc.
