I do not need any line of argument. The facts are painfully clear:
Individuals get zero meaningful votes in the DNSO. They can only be part
of a mix called the General Assembly, which is almost powerless.
Those who float the claim that membership in ICANN's general membership is
equivalent to a voice in the DNSO have apparently not read the various
documents.

ICANN's board imposed the other constituencies. Many of them had (and
still have) far less form than does the IDNO.

No doubt that NSI is using every trick in the book. And I would not be
sorry to see them fade into oblivion.
But then again, ICANN's board has been no white knight. It is ICANN's
actions that make it comparatively easy to digest NSI's manipulations.
