Comments:
1.working from within might raise less resistance
2.The governments of Developing countries see ICANN as US centric and thus want ITU to govern Internet. ICANN should therefore make efforts to improve representation from developing countries like India and should adopt a 'reach out' awareness program
3. This is hard to decide on.
4. This is a GOOD poll. Ultimately, however, active members will voice their opinions to the Panel, and the Panel should pick a direction and move forward with it. This should have been done TWO YEARS ago.
5. It's inevitable that the control will eventually move away from one organisation, and planning should be taking place to encourage it, smoothen the way and prevent disruption.
6. I believe that we should organize as a legitimate and functioning entity, then create a massive outreach program which will evolve into a number of sponsored chapters based upon discreet interests/ language/ and Internet usage, not geography.
7. try to improve while support.
8. support ICANN only with real membership and 50% board seats for at-large. Dialog wth ALAC gives it legitimacy it has not earned since it is not member elected and has no board seats. We should not give credence to a group with no legitimacy
9. work with everyone tor futher user rights
