If you do not care to be classified either commercial or non-commercial, if
you do not care to be put in a pro-NSI or an anti-NSI camp
you are just the kind of ordinary Domain Name Owner the IDNO constituency
was created for.
We cannot guarantee you a voice in ICANN.
ICANN still has trouble recognizing us as a legitimate group of
stakeholders in the DNS. Why is anybody's guess.
We have tried hard, both in Singapore and in Berlin to get us our rightful
place in the DNSO and with sufficient support from people like yourself, we
might just make it by the time the interim ICANN board meets again in
August in Santiago.
Resistance against us being in the DNSO seems to come mostly from a lobby
of Trademark Law Firms, acting on behalf of their clients.
But even if we would have our 3 seats in the DNSO, it would still be a
feeble voice (3 out of 19?) when it comes to making recommendations to the
ICANN Board.
As an Association of Domain Name owners we will continue to exist and grow,
with or without ICANN.
