I think that this is a bit oversimplified.  I have been involved in ICANN working groups where people from diverse stakeholder groups were involved.  And (with one individual exception) everybody worked together just fine.  We had disagreements, of course.  But (with the aforementioned exception) everybody was focused on the task at hand rather than turf wars. <div><br></div><div>So, various groups don't necessarily fall into conflict, even at ICANN.  Perhaps we should try working on ways to increase that kind of common effort, and on ways to discourage the turf wars behavior.  It won't be easy.  But it seems to have a greater chance of success, or even partial success, than other restructuring avenues. </div><div><br></div><div>Bill Jouris </div><div><br><br><div id="ymail_android_signature"><a id="ymail_android_signature_link" href="https://go.onelink.me/107872968?pid=InProduct&c=Global_Internal_YGrowth_AndroidEmailSig__AndroidUsers&af_wl=ym&af_sub1=Internal&af_sub2=Global_YGrowth&af_sub3=EmailSignature">Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android</a></div> <br> <blockquote style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;"> <div style="font-family:Roboto, sans-serif; color:#6D00F6;"> <div>On Thu, Jul 28, 2022 at 3:25 PM, Antony Van Couvering via At-Large</div><div><at-large@atlarge-lists.icann.org> wrote:</div> </div> <div style="padding: 10px 0 0 20px; margin: 10px 0 0 0; border-left: 1px solid #6D00F6;"> _______________________________________________<br clear="none">At-Large mailing list<br clear="none"><a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:At-Large@atlarge-lists.icann.org" href="mailto:At-Large@atlarge-lists.icann.org">At-Large@atlarge-lists.icann.org</a><br clear="none"><a shape="rect" href="https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/at-large" target="_blank">https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/at-large</a><br clear="none"><br clear="none">At-Large Official Site: <a shape="rect" href="http://atlarge.icann.org" target="_blank">http://atlarge.icann.org</a><br clear="none">_______________________________________________<br clear="none">By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (<a shape="rect" href="https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy</a>) and the website Terms of Service (<a shape="rect" href="https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos</a>). You can visit the Mailman link above to change your membership status or configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on. </div> </blockquote></div>
