 "We believe, and many
  commenters also suggested, that the private sector organizers will want
  Dr. Postel and other IANA staff to be involved
  in the creation of the new corporation." 

with the particapants 
ranging from

"5. Structure of the New Corporation. 

 The Green Paper proposed a 15-member Board, consisting of three
 representatives of regional number registries, two members designated by
 the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), two
 members representing domain name registries and domain name registrars,
 seven members representing Internet users,
 and the Chief Executive Officer of the new corporation."  

IAB                    2 
ARIN/RIPE/APNIC        3 
REGISTRARS             1
REGISTRIES             1
INTERNET USER          7
IANA-CEO               1
 
and stating there that this new iana will be inchargt to resolve all the 
importend isues..! 

it looks not so bad so far !?

so the question is how the internet users would be representd-becouse
they are 7 there would be 

a) run for it :-)
b) trying to "control" it :-)

as iana and from its initiated gtld process prefers the foundation of pab
and wanted pab to chose representants of the internet community 

pab could consist to be and more than that it could be the organisation
where the internet users can be representad and chose their representants
to new iana 

as mr.crispin hase shape it some times ago

tell me if i am wrong :-)

thanks
