That is disrespectful and people must be called to order. Dr. EL is not the only one on the AfrICANN list or I* related lists where Seun happens to be as well. Seun's contributions on these lists and other fora have been at worst constructive and relevant to the subject matter(s). To suggest he is a troll is woefully inaccurate and very unfortunate.

Thus, each SO and AC could create an entity independent of ICANN, but answerable to that SO and AC. The external entities could then be members of ICANN.<br>

>> My understanding is that groups like the Registrar constituency, and the registrar stakeholder group (<a href="http://www.icannregistrars.org/" target="_blank">http://www.icannregistrars.org/</a> ) are deliberately not established as legal entities, or as trade associations. They are coordinating groups - but any legal agreements etc are always between individual registrars as legal entities and ICANN. Recently a domain name industry association was established - I assume this is a legal entity (<a href="http://www.thedna.org/" target="_blank">http://www.thedna.org/</a> ).<br>
