While I'm not altogether certain that the recently formed gTLD
constituency is an appropriate place for prospective registries to
find a voice in the DNSO, since their voice in it might easily be
subsumed to that of NSI, I agree with IO Design's objection that no
place has been made for it and like prospective regsitries in the SO
structure of ICANN.
New registries are sorely needed, not only by commercial interests
for broadening their access to web-based e-commerce but for an
expanded and conflict-free access to the Internet for individual and
non-commercial independent users. The ICIIU therefore seconds the
aspirations of IO Design and like new registries and endorses their
efforts to gain a well-deserved voice in ICANN.
