Chris,
I feel the best possible place for the prospectice gTLD registries constituency is in the gTLD Registries DNSO. The ICANN board has not agreed with that assertion. I have submitted, on behalf of the TLDA (as you know), a suggestion of several alternatives for the ICANN board to consider. I have received no response whatsoever regarding the suggestions.
As I mentioned in that memo, it is more important that there be representation than where the representation resides.
I would also be interested in the CORE position, and other groups' as well.
