RE: [ga] MOTION: Request for a GA resolution on an IDN holders' c onstituency (IC)

["L Gallegos" <jandl@jandl.com>]

If you hold a domain name, you want the IC which doesn not exist.  You 
could also join the non-commecial SO, if your site falls into that 
category.  There is no prohibition on joining more than one.  The bone of 
contention is that there is no place for the individual domain name 
holder or small business that is not controlled by a faction that is at 
cross purposes with that part of the community.  The major 
corporations have the business SO, the IP interests have their SO, the 
non-coms have theirs, but everyone else is in limbo with no voice.

We need the at-large and we need an SO for individuals and small 
business.  Those are the ones being mauled by the major corps and IP 
interests.
