The Palace Coup d'Etat Committee has presented us with a plan that
permanently disenfranchises the at-large membership, eliminates all
elections, and creates a self-perpetuating regime accountable to no one. We
will now "evolve" from a democratic representative model to control by an
oligarchy of technocrats.
This is not evolution, it is the repudiation of our founding principles.
This ICANN Board has forfeited our trust.
I call on all those that support the at-large initiative to set aside
whatever mundane tasks that currently occupy their time, and to immediately
draft a letter to the Department of Commerce to call for a return to the
founding agreements of 1998. We should settle for nothing less than ICANN as
a true membership organization with the membership electing their own
leadership and Board.
