Re: [ALSC-Forum] Options A,B,C

[Karl Auerbach]

I certainly hope that people do not treat these so-called "options" as
hard channels into which thinking must flow.

I find these "options" to be more akin to mental straitjackets than useful
tools of analysis.  I am particularly sad to see that all the "options"
seem to accept without question the continued existance of "Supporting
Organizations".

To the extent that ICANN has elements that carve out privileged roles for
various industry groups - registrars, registries, ISPs, trademark holders,
etc - then to that extent democratic values are diminished, perhaps to the
point of vanishing.
