The Barcelona/Monterrey DNSO has a quite broad base of participation:
registries, ccTLD NICs, ISOC, various telcos, business and trademark groups,
etc. It's in the process right now of broadening that base. It stands a very
good chance of having its application accepted by ICANN, probably with the
proviso that it negotiate to include still other contingents.
If people with proposals for alternative membership structures don't propose
them, the DNSO will have no choice but to adopt whatever has been proposed,
under the expediency that something is better than nothing. That will retard
the process, which could easily end up in some way not beneficial to the
interests of the people on this list who have alternative, often better
methods to propose. Denying them to the DNSO is helping no one.
Standing on the sidelines waiting for others' efforts to fall apart isn't
always the best tactic. If you can affect the situation so that it becomes
more or less what you want, why refuse to do so?
