Either the Paris Draft or the BMW draft is the better draft and an as-yet
unwritten draft may be better than both.
Among the issues irrelevant to determining that isse are: who signed those
drafts, what an employee of WITSA told that organization's members, who
wrote the word Center in his post and pretty much everything else in this
thread.
Other things that will not be included in the history of the DNSO written
ten years from now include: who paid for Richard Sexton's drinks and what
is Kent Crispin's day job (unless of course his day job turns out to be at
NSI). I do believe however that the search for Jeff Williams will be
touched upon in such a history but probably only in a footnote (unless Kent
Crispin's day job turns out to be being Jeff Williams).
Relevant questions include but are not limited to the following:
What is the proper role of the DNSO and the Name Council;
What is a just membership structure of DNSO and all of the subsidiary
questions raised by the existence of constituencies;
What regulatory power will ICANN have;
What degree of regulatory power does the NTIA retain;
What regulatory powers should (do) (will) non-US governments have over the
DNS;
and many others. How about we end this thread?
p.s. I acknowledge that I'm as guilty of being irrelelvant at times as the
next poster
