[governance] What happened at the NARALO/ALAC/CCNSO?

The Process:
Jacqueline,
My point(and more importantly Danny's at that moment) was the 'Process' of
bottom-up was not being implemented, and as the counter balance too the
'Process' of top-down, there was no 'contest' to which it (Neustar
technologies) was subject to.

Hummm, think of it as a new-drug, the FDA just approved without
any Independent Laboratory’s approval. Now the drug's on the market
and come to find out, there are some horrible consequences 
(it was FDA rubber stamped). 

In our instance the FDA is the NTIA and the Drug Company is Neustar,
the Pharmacies are the Telco’s.

Icann's ALAC had an 'oversite' duty & function and they failed 
(for whatever reasons, I don't mean to point fingers / ad-hominem)
This list is the  - Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility -
We had a *Responsibility*  and failed.

And the Cynics will say, that it was run-through with a new-process, 
which real is the old-process of big-business getting what it wants.

So,
It is imperative that we strike a 'balance' with 'the-process-of-development'
to instill 'Responsibility'. I don't care how its imitated, bottom-up or
top-down.

I feel we need to find something new. 
Something that works, We failed the People, thats it period.
