"We believe, and many
commenters also suggested, that the private sector organizers will want
Dr. Postel and other IANA staff to be involved
in the creation of the new corporation."

with the particapants
ranging from

"5. Structure of the New Corporation.

The Green Paper proposed a 15-member Board, consisting of three
representatives of regional number registries, two members designated by
the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), two
members representing domain name registries and domain name registrars,
seven members representing Internet users,
and the Chief Executive Officer of the new corporation."

IAB 2
ARIN/RIPE/APNIC 3
REGISTRARS 1
REGISTRIES 1
INTERNET USER 7
IANA-CEO 1

and stating there that this new iana will be inchargt to resolve all the
importend isues..!

it looks not so bad so far !?

so the question is how the internet users would be representd-becouse
they are 7 there would be

a) run for it :-)
b) trying to "control" it :-)

as iana and from its initiated gtld process prefers the foundation of pab
and wanted pab to chose representants of the internet community

pab could consist to be and more than that it could be the organisation
where the internet users can be representad and chose their representants
to new iana

as mr.crispin hase shape it some times ago

tell me if i am wrong :-)

thanks
