The IFWP has been an open forum for discussing the different ways
in which the Internet might evolve, and in particular the way in
which IANA would be replaced. As far as I can see the DNSO
represents one particular faction in that discussion, and that
faction does not represent openness. Nor it is by no means
clear that ICANN and the DNSO are the final outcome of this process.
If you hand over this list to the DNSO, you betray a trust.
