Prior to the release of the White Paper Jon Postel and some others
spent time defining how the "non-profit" organization would look.
Now that the WP has been released I expect that work will proceed
very rapidly. There has been talk of a neutral third party from an
organization known as the "Aspen Institute" acting as a coordinator.
After some jockying around by major players (POC, NSI, etc) an
interim board will probably be selected, pretty much following the
model that Jon has been working on. This new board will make some
decisions, then the real board will be selected.
The problem here is that everything depends on the details. I don't
know how those will turn out at this point. I don't think anyone
knows.
We all know, however, that every bit of delay puts more money in
NSI's pocket.

The WP only came out on Friday, Sascha. Maybe we ought to give
people a few days to read and think about it before we start
pestering them about what it means.
