You are aware, of course, that the current bi-cameral model was a political
expedience, a kludge that happens to work.
That said, it would appear that these would be ISP's/Domain holders, and
end-users. I am begining to see the DNSO as more like a Senate. I have yet
to see anything resembling a House of Representatives, however. But, this
is ceeding to the InterNet Governance approach, which I basically disagree
with. Like it as not, we simply don't have the authority of deadly-force to
enforce any sort of governance model. I don't want to go there either. Been
there, done that, burned the tee-shirt/card...
