It has become increasingly clear to me that for a long time there has existed a sizable
worldwide group of organizations actively pursuing improvements at ICANN for the
benefit of the general public, a group that meets all the criteria for Constituency
representation in the DNSO's Names Council - a Public Policy Group. These organizations
have been responsible for spearheading legislative actions, for ensuring a necessary
minimum level of governmental oversight, for thorough research and analysis into
matters that affect the global Internet community. It is time for such a Constituency,
a group that has proven that it is committed to working hard to foster necessary
change; this will serve the best interests of the Corporation. It is my hope
that the ICANN Board will, by its own motion, act to establish such a constituency.
