gregbo, I only copied IFWP with the message "A Model for Community & Global Governance"; the original went to ICANN's membership advisory committee list. I was suggesting to ICANN that an affiliation with our neighborhood effort (and similar ones around the world) would provide them with the bona fide voting membership they are looking for. How better are they getting Internet users to vote for their At Large members? While there have been several suggestions, the one I put forward seems quite doable, and is worthy of consideration (IMHO).
