Exactly my point.

At a personal level - I spend most of my time in the ccNSO silo, and 
have a good understanding of the ccTLD communities views on all sorts of 
issues, take for example, WHOIS. I have some idea of the GAC's view, and 
no idea of any other constituency views on this topic. It would make 
more sense to have the multistakeholder dialogue on this topic so I 
could appreciate the range of opinion.

At an operational level - the WHOIS review team came to an ICANN meeting 
and had to do 11 separate presentations to work through all 
constituencies - surely this is a waste of everyones time, most 
especially the review teams, and surely it is symptomatic of being 
non-multistakeholder in nature as it is a series of silo'ised discussions.

Cheers

Keith
