I personally am happy to let you and Dave be here with full powers of
discussion - but only if you join the IDNO.
If you do not join and you simply want to post from the Peanut Gallery,
then I'm not so sympathetic.
As for "politeness" and "restraint".... let's allow the reader to decide.
As for the IDNO:
The IDNO is the constituency-in-formation for individual domain name
holders.
The IDNO is not a substitute for general membership in ICANN.
Nor is general membership a substitute for the IDNO.
We, of course, have our growing pains. And because we are largely doing
this as a volunteer effort in our spare time from our real jobs, the
effort is somewhat slow and halting.
And since we are doing this all in public, all the gritty parts of our
effort, including disagreements and strong opinions are visible to our
detractors.
Nor do we have the benefit of a professional press agency or full time
staff.
Right now we are hammering out the details of what charactistics define an
individual domain name owner.
Defining membership is, of course, a critical issue we need to resolve
prior to our initiating outreach efforts to increase our membership.
