As a user, I will not buy the principle that the DNSO is only for people 
that have a direct professional involvement. Users as well have interests at 
stake, and can add a useful point of view.
As a user I am damn interested, for instance, if there is a single root or 
multiple roots. I am also damn interested in the way rules are set for 
Registries and Registrars, because those rules will ultimately affect me and 
my ability to eventually become a Domain Name owner or not.

I would not recommend, for the time being, to create a separate SO for 
users, but to encourage the users that may feel the interest to participate 
in the existing ones.

Regards
Roberto
