And how much would these dues be? Would it not be more clever for those
interested as mere users to get a voice in DNS policy, and willing to pay
some membership fee, to found an organization separate from ICANN?
Something really bottom up. It could then offer itself to take on the
AtLarge role, e.g. organizing an election for the 9 board seats. And if
ICANN refuses to accept, talk, negotiate, compromise, well, this new
organization could always do the same as the elected Irish representatives
did nearly a hundred years ago. Most of Ireland is free now, for a long
time. They did not get all they wanted, but most of it. Much more than
when they had remained cerfs.
