Indeed the imbalances within the ICANN community – described and discussed in this paper – go well beyond dysfunctional consensus building, and nowadays have significant economic, political and social consequences which disproportionately privilege incumbent stakeholders at the expense of others, both present and in the future, within and beyond the ICANN structure.

Insofar as ICANN is nowadays managing the allocation, and supervising the use of, quite vast economic resources, our present structure and performance likely appears to many as quite unusual.

Accordingly the necessary rebalancing of participation and powers within the ICANN organisation is in fact an essential factor in global internet Governance (IG) at large. It would also enhance the efficiency and transparency of our decisions and policies."

>> Hello cpwg members. Please take a look at the google doc re: comment on the MS model BEFORE the call. There is a document, and there are comments on the document you might want to address. If no one has issues with the document or with my responses to comments made to the document, then we won't have much to discuss. I don't have any slides to present. The document itself will be our reference point.
