I simply meant that I feel a lot of people are frustrated because the
White Paper set forth a set of criteria under which Newco would
operate, and so far, ICANN has not lived up to those requirements.

I think it would take a lot of work. Certainly, the logistics of
enabling participation by the Internet community at large need to be
dealt with. People need to be able to participate using a variety of
tools (usenet news, email, RealAudio, web browsers, telephone, video
conference, MBone, etc.) There is the issue of publicizing the
meetings so all interested parties know about them. Also, there is
the issue of getting support and recognition for this movement.

Possibly.
