RE: [atlarge-discuss] Issues

Danny, 

I accept your challenge: And I will start with polling the
Icann-at-Large membership Worldwide, with their views and constructs of
how their Nation's are designed [their Constitutions (K)] to work. Find
out what their system are for Checks and Balances, what is their system
for National (State) ownership and Private (Individual) ownership. As we
collect this body of knowledge, We will distill the principles and use
them to construct a Constitutional charter, one with so much efficacy,
that it will not only encompass the US Constitution it will surpass it!

Why?  Because in order to challenge the Department of Commerce [DoC]
sanction over our Charter(K) (Icann/Icann-at-Large), we must be able to
provide not only enough Constitutional muster to deliver the required
efficacy within the issues that bring it to the Supreme Court or sponsor
an Act of Congress, We must be able to prove with that Charter(K), that
the DoC's 'Memorandum of Understanding' is Un-Constitutional in the face
of the Supreme Law, Inter-National, and WIPO.

This is not un-attainable, We must untie the Noose. Then the organs of
the freed Sovereignty can be allowed to function, to solve matters such
as the "substantive domain name issues" un-encumbered by the DoC, and
more importantly of Icann. When we have judgment to attest that the
relationship between ICANN and the U.S. Department of Commerce is
Un-Constitutional, the real work will have only just begun, then the
Taxes will be used properly to feed the organs of the Sovereignty.

How are we to reach this point, The Internet is
the-biggest-Social-Movement-on-Earth. I will gather the greatest
Acolyte's of: Madison, Jefferson, Franklin, Hamilton, and Washington,
together with expertise of Milton Friedman's Hoover Institute
(Stanford), Leif Carter (Harvard Law Chair), Lawrence Tribe (Harvard
Law), Dr. Bradley Chilton; Practice an Institutional Constitutional Law:
a social policy (Georgia), Dr. Richard Fleishman: law is the social
study of culture, A macro analysis of society applied to Law... 
and We will show the Tribe on the Hill, Whose Who.

Lets begin the process of: Naming, Blaming, and Claiming
All for One and One for All

Thomas Jefferson: "The Net/Nation that expects to be 'ignorant & free',
Expects that 'never can & never be'

I will support my brothers whom continue to Bail a sinking ship, while
the Nouveau Riche get richer and the Les Miserables get poorer.

The "Big Picture" may be viewed in a very small document called the 
Memorandum of Understanding between ICANN and the U.S. Department of 
Commerce.  That document outlines a series of tasks for ICANN to
complete.  
Although reform/replacement of the beast is uppermost on everyone's
mind, the 
reality is that most of us volunteered to participate in ICANN in order
to 
get actual "work" done.  This includes solving the problems associated
with 
abuse of the transfers process, problems relating to privacy concerns,
to 
cyberquatting, to self-dealing on the part of registrars and resellers
at the 
expense of the public, to slamming, and so forth.  These tasks are the
raison 
d'etre behind our participation as members of the user community.

A "Tea Party" may provide for immense satisfaction, but true relief
comes 
only from solving outstanding matters such as the "substantive domain
name 
issues" to which Alex referred.  Whatever construct eventually emerges,
once 
the DoC places their stamp of approval on the project we will have no
choice 
but to work within that particular model... feel free to fight to your 
heart's content until September 30, but starting October 1 you will be
called 
upon to attend to the tasks at hand.  

This would be a good time to prioritize your user concerns, and to start

thinking about how this group will contribute to problem resolution 
activities.  Namely, will we be assigning liaisons to interface with the
GAC, 
the SOs, and the Constituencies?  Will we be sending representatives to
WIPO 
sessions?  Will we be collaborating in the production of documents and 
position papers?  Will we be sending representatives to Task Forces and 
Working Groups?  Will our representatives be required to convey the 
collective views of the membership, or will they be authorized to act as

independent agents subject only to the prospect of replacement at
election 
time?  How will the group, as it increases in size, ascertain the views
of 
its membership?  Will voting or polling on everything become de rigueur,
or 
will our people actually be empowered to "represent"?  What issues
should we 
concentrate upon first?  Should such work be done in parallel with the 
efforts of the Steering Committees of the Supporting Organizations?  How
will 
we better engage the broader membership in our activities?  Will we
establish 
our own working groups with timelines and procedures to be followed?
Can the 
recommendations of such groups be overturned by the Interim Panel?  Will

recommendations need to be vetted by the entire membership for purposes
of 
legitimacy?  

Real work requires real planning... I just hope that the folks that want
to 
take on a leadership role will commit themselves to doing a thorough
job.
