Roberto,

I have to make a comment of this one,

I think you are using the wrong description. An ICANN Director should
know as much as possible about every aspect of ICANN, including ASO,
PSO, DNSO and At-Large. So far I have toutched PSO, DNSO and At-Large,
but I know very little about ASO. And that is a shame.

As I have said before, an ICANN Board Member is personal responsible and
must work for the best of ICANN as a whole, and not just for one
constituency in DNSO or one group of At Large members. A board member
represents himself (herself) and not certain groups, even if she (he)
has support from various groups of people.

Therefore I do not understand the term "DNSO Directors in disguise".

I would rather prefer to be confronted with questions like:

- How can you as a manager of a ccTLD do something good for the At-Large
  membership?
