Andy, you take the words from my mouth here.
I feel very uncomfortable that we are forced to take positions on issues of
substance while the ICANN Board and those already blessed as "official"
constituencies can sit back and listen to us and *then* judge whether they
want us as "recognized" discussion partners.
We should not go into details (and certainly not into concessions), beyond
advocating the interests of the Individual Domain Name owner in general,
unless we are first given due respect as a constituency of stakeholders.
Otherwise, we legitimize the current DNSO, while they, and ICANN, do not
legitimize us.
