  Yes these are all questions that need to be addressed and in short order
if ICANNATLARGE.COM is to be successful and be representative
of stakeholders/users on a globally recognized scale in a proposal format
that the ICANN BoD will or can except.  Even at that, I think it is doubtful
given the see-saw display from Stuart Lynn and some members of the ICANN
BoD that any such proposal would get the nod as At-Large representation.
But none the less, Danny is right here and these questions must be answered
in terms of a structured proposal to the ICANN BoD if any chance is to
be forthcoming...
