Thank you Milton,

I'll take it under advisement.
I'm wanting the Icann's "General Manager of Public Participation" to walk me
through the process of instiuting a program with Icann.

Consensus taking is a fundamental property of 'botttom-up' participation. 
Voting is the very essence of "Public Participation". It's a requirement of
democratic civil culture.

If Icann is committed to, as the Chairman of the Board Mr. Peter Dengate Thrush
stated in Rio:

..." We're looking at an industry-led, self-regulated,
bottom-up, transparent process for the coordination of the Internet resources."
...

Then a 'binding' Public Participation Voting mechanism is absolutely curcial.

Kieren (GM), If you would please...
just walk us through it as an exercise.
Its important for people to hear,
How it is done? (via Icann)

End
