  I agree that a representative structure is of paramount importance.
It is just as important that that same representative structure have
a recognizable and useful name and that each and every member
of ICANNATLARGE.COM works together to the degree that
each member can or desires to to build that representative structure.

  The stakeholders/users are all that really matters.  ICANN is secondary,
although somewhat important...

  Yes this is part of building a good and strong representative structure...

  Those whom refuse to learn the lessons of history are doomed to
repeat it...  Indeed each member here should take upon themselves
to learn on their own and from other members here the history
of the IDNO and other failed or poor attempts at building
representative structures...

I hope this will not be the case here.  We have a wealth of knowledge and
experience amongst our ICANNATLARGE.COM members now that
should preclude such occurrences...
