Preliminary ICC comments on theThis is indeed one potential translation. I would also say that according to

concept of individual memberships could overwhelm the
effectivess of the DNS. Lists and postings must clearly be
open to exchange information and provide transparency.
Individuals must have representative voices as well. But
there must be a mechanism to select/develop appropriate
representative or constituent groups for Individuals or as
well suggest "general" stakeholder representatives.

this ICC provision in their proposal, that they defiantly want to severally limit
the membership to a "Chosen Few". Of course this fits nicely with
the views of the DNSO.ORG bunch quite well, as we have seen over the
past few weeks in their CLOSED process dealings. However this is
hardly suprising considering their SUPPOSED leadership.
It may also be worthy of note that such a provision as this example that
the ICC provides, is in stark contrast with the requirements of the White
Paper on several counts. Lets hope that Becky Burr and the NTIA
takes special note of this fact.
