And how does any non-profit group, individual,
small business or charity fit into this picture?
Answer: they don't. Domain Name Registries like
our embrionic Free Community Network are entirely
shut out of this plan. Also... what is an interim
Board doing setting policies with potentially such
wide ranging effects? Who elected them, where are
the members, what accountability or records exist
for these decisions? In order: no-one elected these
people, there is no membership, no accountability
and all decisions are made in secret. Sounds like
a recipe for Olympian stature disaster to me...
