Moreover, I've been underwhelmed by the silence that has met the announcement that ISOC is formally considering whether to support a constituency of individuals as such. For those who are bothering to pay attention, the message I bring is this: it's better to influence Don Heath's policy views than to try to convince the Internet Community to ignore him. Here's a little hint: Don has mor influence with the ultimate decisionmakers than any of the founding members of The Cyberspace Association have; indeed, his influence over the process is probably on the same order of magnitude as that of our whole membership taken in the aggregate. What's more, he's no longer opposed to ISOC supporting an individuals' constituency.
We can either get on the bandwagon or end up as road pizza :-)

Please don't engage in myth-making , Kent. There has been no ISOC bashing
on our list, --our member Kevin Conolly was quite wrong and off topic with
that; we were actually critiquing NSI-- and ICANN is a structure we intend
to become part of.
This list is not for bashing, but for constructing.
Otherwise your crosspost was appreciated.
Please crosspost any peaceful overtures that you see on the ISOC list. Is
it an open list?
