Mark,

OSI busting is like the "eternal vigilance in the
pursuit of liberty" admonition.  OSI is a state
of mind that has its place; but when applied to
chaotic phenomena doesn't work and impedes the
phenomena at some level.

To move away from abstractions - what is happening
here with the ICANN(GAC) is the OSI types attempting
to apply their failed models and institutional schemes
to the Internet.

Why do you think they mandated 7 constituency groups. :-)
