The day that the IFWP list becomes an expression of the DNSO it will cease to be the IFWP and will become ICANN. But the IFWP will live on. Even if the IFWP list administration and the majority of list participants accept becoming a list of ICANN, the IFWP will continue to exist, in spirit if not in fact, and it will be resurrected independently sooner or later. The IFWP is an idea, the idea of free choice and free association, and that idea can never become a means of propaganda for ICANN, which is the opposite of free choice and free association. The IFWP will conitnue to function all by itself every time two Internet users exchange free opinions freely on a freely chosen connection between free computers. They will sign their messages "IFWP", and the IFWP will exist again.
