[Gov 738] Re: Competition ? Re: [governance] is icann ...

[Eric Dierker]

Avri,
 
Here is the beauty of governance. Slicing and dicing through the paradigms that fuse competition and cooperation to reach the unthinkably wonderful results.  For a scientist rehashing and beating the dead horse of what works is dull drums.  They must continually be looking for that which does not work, ask why and beat the conclusion. We in the social "sciences"* must constantly be rehashing that which works and are accepted norms to apply them to areas that do not work. One retracts into models that function and the other constantly expands into areas to explore what if.  
 
When humankind is at their best they are a synergy of the two. A ready acceptance of the other's concepts and willing to reevaluate what they held dear and personal.  My example is best seen in the physician and the lawyer that are truly artists in their application of hard rules to find solutions to human problems. It is found in zealous representation of the individual and in the unflappable treatment of the patient and not the disease.
 
Governance without the cooperation of the differing sciences and arts and philosophy is WAR. It may be, and we hope it is, a war of words, a constant competition of values and More's and even principles and principals. This happens every nano-second even within the governance of each person. But without cooperation and resolve and sympathy and empathy it results in competitive economic wars and the worst, a war of death of life. In a schizophrenia.
 
Governance is best achieved when it nurtures the capacity to achieve undreamed of results and reaches down to those climbing and struggling and invites them into the fold.

It is all well and good that you persist in your belief  of the ease with which you can do this.  You may have access to a genius solution i just do not see, for i do not see the easy path you see.  i see an interesting research problem with lots of open issues and gotchas ahead, but i could be wrong.

i look forward to seeing the Internet-drafts/proposals in which you produce well formed definitions of your classes and define the schema for your new URIs.  i expect they will be very thorough and will cover all of the possible case and issues so that they can be subject to serious technical review.

And after that I will look forward to the running code and network experiments that prove your point and enable your triumphant 'i told you so'.

Then it will make sense to work on the business case and governance models for the implementation.

a.
