Re: [ga] Getting Heard by the ICANN Board

Danny, once again an example of the fact that ICANN is bound to a bottom up consensus.

Accountability: ICANN shall continue to develop, test, maintain, and improve on accountability mechanisms to be responsive to global Internet stakeholders in the consideration and adoption of policies related to the technical coordination of the Internet DNS, including continuing to improve openness and accessibility for enhanced participation in ICANN's bottom-up participatory policy development processes.

I see ICANN does not intend to comply with #3 stated above. That or they wish to define the bottom as registries and registrars.

#6 once again enforces that process. 

Multi-stakeholder Model: ICANN shall maintain and improve multi-stakeholder model and the global participation of all stakeholders, including conducting reviews of its existing advisory committees and supporting organizations, and will continue to further the effectiveness of the bottom-up policy development processes. ICANN will strive to increase engagement with the Private Sector by developing additional mechanisms for involvement of those affected by the ICANN policies. 

I believe this to be why everyone involved refuses to define bottom-up consensus. A definition would mean they would have to adhere to it. No definition means they have no real accountability.

  We live in a time when quick fixes or one size fits alls are our expectations. Well things really worthwhile are not such things. The Blog is an excellent thing. It will not cure ICANN tomorrow but it will make a difference.
  I suggest that thought be given to avoiding nice and friendly capture and that it truly be accessible by all.

    common or prevailing consensus the issue could be published on the blog
    (possibly together with the proposed solution) for further commenting.
    This could provide Vittorio with a solid background to help open it as a
    regular issue on official forums at ICANN.

    Just my very first idea...

    If you are truly wanting to build a good public comment blog and recruit
    more of the public to participate, I'll be glad to help promote the
    blog. It still isn't the answer. But any step is a good step.
