Dear John,

Please realize that an "MS movement" only means to lobby for a change 
in decision mechanisms from "vote" to a "broad consensus". Nothing more.

This does not make an esthetic, ethic, doctrine, or strategy.
This does not even state who is concerned.

It only refers to new ways to manipulate smoke screens and how 
lobbying is to be updated :-)

This is certainly important to the whole I* community business, but 
as an Internet User I am not interested in the I*$ociety. I just 
expect the internet laws and data transportation services to work. I 
do not mind using an ITU IPv6 numbering plan if the IANA one faces a 
palace coup. Nor to change TCP/IP to something more secure (btw why 
are we not using SCTP so much?)

The concern is only that many competences and people, good 
technicians, dedicated operators, enthusiast salespersons, and 
professional managers depend on something which is going with the 
wind in order to operate and provide a service that the humanity depends on.

The question is no longer "can this be enhanced and protected from 
collapsing under a grassroots reaction": I am convinced that we have 
passed that point. There is no doubt now that the existing internet 
industry will change and that its current business and coordinating 
structures will have to drastically reshape (it may take time as ego, 
understanding and R&D hysteresis is strong, but things are now most 
probably irreversible). Therefore, 1net & co are of no-interest, 
except as a pool of people acquiring experience in a shallow context 
and able to confuse and delay many people

The question now is how to prepare, support, and conduct as 
efficiently as possible that grassroots reaction (and/or to 
positively channel and canalize it)  for it to be as short, useful, 
and productive for a better world development, and permit the largest 
number of today's participants to serve in it and benefit from it.
