The problem, as I see it, is that there is no neutral party setting the rules and making sure that people adhere to them. The ICANN board is hopelessly compromised because their president, Michael Roberts, is a major supporter of one of the competing players for the constituency: ISOC. I have hoped that the NCDNHC would become a space in which the principles of the ICIIU could be realized: the intervention of Internet users in the governance process. But because there are apparently no rules, and no one to enforce them if there were, the NCDNHC has become a grab-bag for people who merely want a seat on the Names Council. If you have a suggestion as to how to re-organize the NCDNHC process so that it takes a better turn towards reaching the ICIIU's objectives (which I am assuming you share), please make it. I would welcome it, although at this point I am very skeptical that any progressive suggestions will be taken up by those who are in control of this process.
