Thanks for that Milton, it was very informative.

But that is not how it usually works out, because commercial users tend to

And this is my point. I think it would be useful to consider the original
reasoning behind the current composition, so could somebody point me to the
right direction? It's surprisingly hard to find some specific information
on ICANN.

There is a review scheduled to begin in February and that is the time and
context in which to raise these concerns. Going around in circles on it
among ourselves before the fact probably is not going to take us anywhere;
it certainly has not yet.

I think we've actually had quite a few people, already expressing, that the
issue itself is interesting. I can't see any harm in mapping our options
and consensus on those options before we might already be giving some input
to review process that starts already in February. We can prepare for it,
at the very least, by increasing our community's understanding of these
issues, and there has already been some helpful discussion that informs
other members of our community, too.

You gave us the link to the announcement of the NomCom2 review and at the
bottom, it has a schedule that's been asking for participants' proposals on
18.11.2016. There are lots of other stages too, even before 1.2.2017. Did
we help our representation in that group to make those proposals?
