I am impressed with your suggestion. I think we need to move forward.
  I really do not want concrete boots.

Eric,

They want recommendations and conclusions from us. They say that nothing has been cast in stone yet, although, of course, if you don't move your feet , the cement will harden into a new structure and the representation of the at large stakeholders will be provided top-down. (with all the negative long-term consequences for ICANN and the hapless "representatives")

"Oh, well"  is not the best answer. 

My recommendation is that the ICANN Board now take the initiative to invite Individual Domain Name Owners to form a recognized GNSO constituency,  its funding provided for in the 2007 and 2008 budget and its internal democracy supervised by the ombudsman and a committee of 3 (elected) Board members.

My conclusions are suspended until this happens.

Is there anyone here who  supports that?

   Improvements" that presents the Working Group's   
   initial thinking on, and raises questions about, how   
   to improve the GNSO, for discussion with Community at   
   the upcoming ICANN Meeting in San Juan and for public   
   comment through the ICANN website. This working draft   
   does not reach any definitive recommendations or   
   conclusions at this time. It is posted to encourage   
   further public discussion and comment, and it does not   
   represent the position of the Working Group, the Board   
   Governance Committee, or the Board.
