So call me a legal nerd - I just read through the by-laws. I never read them through, as opposed to looking for something. I have come to the conclusion that ICANN is a club.(believe it or not - this is not a value judgment) Clubs are cool. I hear that the Sierra Club is good and the various Automobile clubs are good.
   
  So what we got to do, is figure out the requirements of membership to this club. I think it is to make nice and be nice in the future. Now I can be nice, can the rest of you?
   
  Oh by the by, here are the "legal technical" requirements; (Joop I suggest you rethink your stance that name holders are better suited than individuals -One begins to see why previous attempts failed)
  "
  4. Any group of individuals or entities may petition the Board for recognition as a new or separate Constituency. Any such petition shall contain a detailed explanation of:
    a. Why the addition of such a Constituency will improve the ability of the GNSO to carry out its policy-development responsibilities; and 
  b. Why the proposed new Constituency would adequately represent, on a global basis, the stakeholders it seeks to represent.
  Any petition for the recognition of a new Constituency shall be posted for public comment. 
  5. The Board may create new Constituencies in response to such a petition, or on its own motion, if it determines that such action would serve the purposes of ICANN. In the event the Board is considering acting on its own motion it shall post a detailed explanation of why such action is necessary or desirable, set a reasonable time for public comment, and not make a final decision on whether to create such new Constituency until after reviewing all comments received. Whenever the Board posts a petition or recommendation for a new Constituency for public comment, it shall notify the GNSO Council and shall consider any response to that notification prior to taking action.
