<b>Jefsey Morfin:<br>
</b>A solution can only result from a consensus of the Internet Community
and it needs it to succeed.<br><br>
<b>Vint Cerf:<br>
</b>consensus would surely help I think.<br><br>
<br>
This is a last and public call to opponents to this idea. Anyone thinking
that the ICANN evolution may either succeed without being supported by a
World Internet Community consensus or will fail anyway, please speak-up
now.<br><br>
Silence will mean that there is a consensus about the need for a
consensus on the solution which will be proposed.<br><br>
1. any solution not supported by a consensus will not be binding nor
legitimate for many<br>
2. any group or interest trying to propose a solution outside of a
consensual process would be legitimately regarded as a disrupter and
would not be considered in any consensus oriented debate and
count.<br><br>
If no one opposes, I will set-up a site at
<a href="http://wecann.com/" eudora="autourl">http://wecann.com</a> to
establish links to the different ICANN evolution propositions, a working
mailing list between their authors to permit them to discuss that site so
their works are presented in the best, fairest and most neutral and
efficient manner.<br><br>
I also call on anyone who could provide:<br>
- free hosting<br>
- free simple polling - not voting - service<br>
- free secretariat (for comparative analysis work, documentation links,
etc..)<br>
- free mailing lists for the authors - and may be working groups<br>
- funding for a more structured effort<br>
for that site (my resources are limited, and I will myself propose a
solution).<br><br>
The target is to provide an information and comment capacity to the
authors, to the ICANN community (BoD, Councils, Staff, @large, SOs, GAC,
Constituencies) and also to the interested watchers and stakeholders
(Congresses, Consumer Organizations, Govs, Press, Internet Participants
through the world). It is only to be a serious, non biased, smart front
panel to understand and follow and help the concensus process.<br><br>
The decision of the AU Gov. not to subsidize anymore the GAC, meaning the
need for a sucessor, shows the urgency to get real: even if Govs were a
solution, it is not that simple in real international life.<br><br>
