The idea that being an "interested party" should be a
qualification for participating in a decision causes even greater
concern. If anything, this could be deemed a disqualification,
since a party with an interest in the outcome will tend to seek an
outcome beneficial to that interest, not the community's interest or the
public interest. For a variety of reasons, we do not operate that
way -- being an interested party does not qualify one from participating
in a multistakeholder process relating to that interest. This makes
it even more important that a truly inclusive multistakeholder group be
assembled to consider and resolve issues regardless of whose ox is being
gored, to balance the self-interest of the interested parties and to
assure the integrity of the process.<br><br>

Greg, I support that completely. And yet, we have continually been told
that as the direct customers, only registries (perhaps with token other
involvement) need to be involved in a all sorts of decisions related to
IANA.<br><br>
