<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:
11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>In a bottom up consensus driven organization
as ICANN, it seems that limiting such an important group will lessen the
number of ideas as well as the depth of discussion around what future meetings
look like. Moreover, an </span></font><font color=blue face=Arial><span

undoubtedly minimize input of the most affected parties -- the
attendees. </span></font><font color=blue face=Arial><span
style='font-family:Arial;color:blue'>I think we can all agree that the growth
from meetings of 500-600 participants to those of upward of 1500 over the
course of this past decade is something that merits serious discussion.
What I don't understand is why and who is limiting these discussions to such a
small group of representatives. Working Groups are not limited, so why
would this group be?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
