If you think that the opinions of the many different ISP organizations are
so important, then why have you not organized votes by their members,
especially your own?  Rather than touting what has not been done, how about
helping to make it happen?

It is truly astonishing that anyone could seriously deprecate the fact that
this activity has managed to get nearly 200 organizations around the world
to demonstrate their support formally, especially considering that most
organizations, including most of those that signed, tend towards
conservative behavior.  They wouldn't sign unless they had given the matter
due consideration.

It's trivial to find a nit to pick with any plan or any demonstration of
support.  It's a lot harder to develop counter-proposals and garner formal
support for THAT.
