Firstly, I support both Karl and Joop as representatives.
Secondly, I commend NSI for their kind offer. Even if it is in their
best interest to foment an opposition, they NEED the opposition for
anti-trust reasons. If they are the only gTLD registry left standing, on
Sep00, then they have a DOJ problem the size of Microsoft's. However
misguided, they may sometimes appear, they mostly try to do the "right
thing". There is plenty of evidence for this. They are also not stupid,
being the one-and-only gTLD registry, is a dangerous situation from many
perspectives.
Thirdly, Kevin's point about the ISOC bashing should be considered. Not
all of us ISOC members are evil nor are we all academics.<grin>
Forth, when Dyson made that statemnent she unilaterally spoke in direct
opposition to the ICANN's own by-laws. If it sticks, there is clear
evidence of lack of process. When an organization doesn't even follow
its own rules, but rather the voice of a single individual, then it is
not an organization. It is a dictatorship and the single voice is its
tyrant. I also believe that Esther very much knew what she was doing
when she did this and did it anyway. This indicates that she is very
confident in her power-base. Sufficiently so that she cares less for the
opinions of others due to the appearance that their opinions do not
matter. The fact that she did it to the constituency that NSI claimed
sole membership of is irrelevant. There may be more members, in that
contituency, in the future (NSI would sincerely hope, remember, they are
naked, with no cover, and they have "incoming". Size isn't always a
"good thing" it makes one a better target, in their case, the only
target).
