mr.crocker what is the "philosophy" behind this system ?
i mean what is the "background" and right understanding for such
arangements  or what is the "benefit" of it

so what is the diference between a nonvoting member and a (two) voting
members
why isp's should have 2 voting members and iana should have one voting
member?  
if iana hase a way to ashure the "right" direction in benefit for all 
i have no problem with having iana have one/two voting/nonvoting seet/s 
on poc
for me iana represents the "good old man" making shure that everything
runs properly in the right direction
now samthing "new" should come  so we need a little more explanation on
this "new" thing
would you like to give as more explanation of it
