To Veni:
Bottom up consensus is not a philosophical concept, Veni. It is a
mandate from the MoU and one of ICANN's founding principles. Amazing
to me all those long hours you say you spent on ICANN matters and
you still think bottom up consensus in regards to ICANN is just a
matter of philosophy and not something you should have been pursuing
as a member of the board.
Actually, Chris, if you have missed my e-mail from yesterday, that's
exactly what I quoted:
"That's a more philosophical question; sometimes when I have time, I
may write on it, but in the meantime, check Wikipedia for this, e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_decision-making (and note - I
didn't say I agree with this article; I am just giving it a starting
point to read on this). btw, this is also from the Wikipedia: "ICANN
was charged with "Operating in a bottom up, consensus driven,
democratic manner" by the US Department of Commerce in the Memorandum
of Understanding that set up the relationship between ICANN and the
US Government. However, the attempts that ICANN made to set up an
organizational structure that would allow wide input from the global
Internet community did not work well; the At-Large constituency and
direct election of board members by the global Internet community
were soon abandoned "
(off topic: This is a good task for people like you - to see how to
provide solution to the problems with the first elections, and see
whether elections can be implemented again)"
Interesting - you quote again what suits you, and not the facts.
Sincerely,
Veni Markovski
