>From my point of view, the goal is not to decide substantive domain name
issues now (whatever they may be), but to create a vehicle that is fair,
representative, international, open, and transparent by which those
substantive policy issues can be addressed in the future. The successful
DNSO will create a structure that provides such openness and fairness,
does not prejudge the merits of any substantive issues, and does not
guarantee any particular outcome.
No small task.
But the goal should be to create a deliberative body, not to deliberate
the substantive DNS issues now.
