Comments:
  • the removal of the established voting mechanism after one election was intolerable. the substitution mechanism is designed to remove power from the at large constituiency.
  • it is still within a self governing organazation. This is not benificial to ALL domain owners.
  • Everything I've read says that the last thing ICANN wants is truly independent directors that represent grassroots Internet activists.
  • That question is meant as a joke, no?
  • Partially, but for the most part, 'no'.
  • Need Additional Info.
  • Rephares: Do you believe that an ICANN's Controlled/Initiated @Large will be effective and beneficial to the Internet Users?
  • By definition, any top-down process is intrinsically non-democratic and therefore fatally flawed.
  • They mean to insure no popular influence
