[NA-Discuss] Operational Plan and Budget for 2009

[mcknight.glenn at gmail.com]

Hi


I too express concern about the lack of action items for the At Large or  
user constituencies.

As ICANN mentioned various times during the sessions they aim to  
demonstrate with " Transparency"
the following:

"Global engagement and increased international participation"

Since ICANN Is a 501C and "crows' the virtue of public engagement, it  
behooves me that they are not practicing what they speak
I can see the " Public" comments becoming a selective channel of  
communication ie. Registrars only which is not public but more a special  
interest group
lobby for shaping ICANN direction and deliverables.

As we saw during the ECRIME Sessions and especially at Garth's and Rudi's  
session the bias is obvious.

Regards

Glenn
