ICANN was originally established on a constituency basis, the dNSO, GAC, 
At Large etc, and has persisted with this model. Now that ICANN has 
matured significantly (but potentially nothing more than an acne laden 
adolescent), the constituency model is really only of use in the 
methodology to select / recruit / appoint that constituency's 
representative(s) to the ICANN Board.

So perhaps the idea of coming into an ICANN meeting for day 1 and 
leaving on day 5 from *your* constituency, you could spend days 2 - 4 in 
multistakeholder rooms discussing issues with all affected parties, 
rather than purely with your peers - this would help all participants 
appreciate the colour and depth of opinion on issues, and therefore lead 
to more inclusive, transparent and consensus based decisions?

Cheers

Keith
