Dominik and all,
The GA is not as George suggests, but I think I can see his
concerns. The GA can be what it once was if we self organize
as what is seemingly being desired by some few GA list subscribers.
The GA is not now and never was a "Constituency" of the GNSO
or the defunct old DNSO. It IS and was a "General Assembly".
This thread is a notice of "Self Organization" of the GA, not
a registrants constituency, but can and should be used as
a medium of promoting a Registrants Constituency, as
well as a At Large/users Constituency for non registrants/users
as the ALAC is and has always been a failure due to lack
of representation on the ICANN Bod and a vote on any and
all policy considerations.

George,
it makes no sense to recall the whole genesis all over again. But take
it as a result of strong dissatisfaction over the long-term persisting
inactivity regarding the legitimate interests of the
registrants/stakeholders/users.
Yes, no GA vote will ensure the acceptance of voting result within the
structures. On the other hand, formulating and expressing a clear
representative opinion as a result of common consensus backed up by
legitimate voting is much stronger mechanism than just noncommittal
small-talks scattered everywhere and eventually vanishing to
nothingness. Especially, when various serious issues are to be addressed
and solved such as registerfly or domain tasting, just mentioning few of
them.
If we succeed in identifying and addressing important issues as well as
in bringing some valuable ideas on how to solve them and bring into life
then this will be our contribution to what we understand as a bottom-up
consensus; it can also be an inspiration and motivation for people
working within the ICANN structures.
I see the necessity of such a GA structure at least until a full-fledged
Registrants Constituency is established.

I'd repeat my comments from January, see:

This list is supposed to be a cross-constituency discussion forum, not a
"MUD", where people role-play, pretending that they can run for office,
in between slaying dwarves and rescuing princesses.
