Re: [atlarge-discuss] Membership

David,

Why should the door of the At-Large be open to a spokesman from VeriSign, or 
for that matter to anyone who is already represented within the Supporting 
Organizations?  That is assuredly counter-productive, and stands at odds with 
the concept of the At-Large as the home for those who otherwise have no 
representation in the ICANN process.  

Roger Cochetti won't open his door to you, nor to any registry than is not 
ICANN-accredited, so why should you be so magnanimous?  You would be better 
off to recognize your adversaries and exclude them accordingly just as they 
do, and that includes all of the members of the Business Constituency that 
for years have acted to deny representation to individual domain name holders.

There are those that sympathize with the cause of the At-Large that are 
members of the constituencies, but that shouldn't equate to making them de 
facto members.  Then there are others like Marilyn Cade, an icannatlarge.com 
member, that have used every trick in the book to deny representation to 
registrants in the DNSO processes -- why should she or those of her ilk be 
considered an At-large member?

As I see it, the At-Large wasn't meant to be the home for the whole of the 
public, but only for that portion of the public that wasn't otherwise 
represented within ICANN.
