I also agree on this, but this was not my point, actually. I would  
say that this (NA or Euro perspective -- as they're different) is due  
to the dominance of players from this area/perspective (no need to be  
from this geographical area to adopt such perspective: back to Frantz  
Fanon), and this is by no way specific to ICANN discussions.

Actually, my last point (given framework + from inside + in ICANN  
best interests) was directly referring to numerous messages posted by  
Kieren, explicitely in his capacity of ICANN General Manager of  
Public Participation. No need to provide quotes, I think, specially  
since one may look into the list archives. Kieren: no personal attack  
here, simply I find very strange this approach to institutions.

Best,
Meryem
