My take is that you cannot separate a charter to get everyone to support 
all domains equally from getting all domains to be equally worthy of 
support.

At some point, you'll just replace "structural" barriers to acceptance 
by black and gray lists.

In my personal life, I run a small forum, and there I cheerfully ban 
access from any TLDs and IP addresses not based in the US and a small 
number of selected countries. Spam magically goes to zero and my (local) 
audience is not affected. Pretty draconian black list (or white list, 
actually), but I don't have the time to waste on accepting and cleaning 
up after garbage.

Extreme, perhaps, but I think this group ignores the potential 
costs/risks of universal acceptance at its peril.

"Poor anti-abuse stance" should not be rewarded with acceptance.
