Hello all.
As I went through the "Internet Awakening" string of messages it struck me
that comment on ICAAN was dominated by North Americans. That must be
unhealthy and I was glad to see that a compatriot has already made an
appropriate comment.
The "Internet Awakening" String finishes up:

Sounds noble. The one thing people seem to agree on is
they don't want it done someone else's way.
Humbly I suggest that an Internet Constitution can only come about with
small, amendable and reversible steps over as long as it takes. The URL
below offers a way. Everybody gets a say.
