Re: [ALSC-Forum] Straw Poll

[hans.klein]

I believe the ALM should elect nine members.

Internet privatization in 1998 was based on an agreement reached after 
extensive public and private negotiations among all concerned 
stakeholders.  The condition for privatization was a set of bylaws that 
provided balanced representation between users and experts/industry reps.

Although I have some personal doubts about this policy, because it awarded 
special rights to expert/industry representatives, I recognize it resulted 
from the most open process we are likely to see.  I think we must abide by 
that foundational policy.

To reject the conditions for Internet privatization would seem to cast 
doubt on the whole notion of an ICANN (or any "newco").
