[ga] Evolution of the Cartel

[DannyYounger@cs.com]

With the issuance of the ERC's Fifth Supplemental Implementation Report we 
are moving a step closer toward discarding all pretense about the true nature 
of ICANN -- the organization is evolving into a true Cartel with a brand new 
trade association for ccTLD administrators (the ccNSO) . 

No longer are other constituent groups entitled to be members of a Supporting 
Organization in the reformed ICANN -- this SO will consist only of ccTLD 
managers.

Step-by-step the rights of user communities are being eradicated within 
ICANN.  It began with the elimination of At-Large directors, it continued 
with the elimination of the democratic mechanisms of the DNSO General 
Assembly, it next proceeded with enhanced voting rights for GNSO "suppliers", 
and it now manifests itself in a new SO that relegates user constituencies to 
the sidelines.

The "Architect" of this Reform, Alejandro Pisanty, has reaffirmed his 
interest in occupying Seat #13 on the ICANN Board of Directors.  Let's see if 
the User Constituencies decide to put him back on the throne... Nominations 
for Seat #13 commence today --
