[discuss] shifts in IANA/accountability discussion: your thoughts?

Dear Willi,

The information jokey concept as explained before came by fun and 
chance. It also came as part of a communication theory analysis 
(there is an information theory, but no real communications theory 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_theory)  while JFC Morfin 
debugged what he calls 'intellition' (i.e. what makes sense out of 
the communicated information).

One of the interesting things with information theory is that it is 
centralized. You have a sender and multiple receivers. JFC oberved it 
while identifying the sleeping, listening, soliloqual, monolog, 
dialog, polylog and symbiosis communications states. In these seven 
states one considered from zero to an unlimited number of receivers 
and a single sender. This is not the only way the actual network 
works, at least in his Tymnet originated model, our now Web 2.0 
practice, and OPES (we shared into this but could not at that time 
make understood the notion of parallel networks) 
http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/opes/charter/, etc.

The debate about multiple senders to multiple receivers seemed partly 
OK through mailing lists. So we had a mailing list initiated by JFC 
on this topic. However we identified that mailing lists did not scale 
seamlessly. You can have sub-lists but these sub-lists must have a 
spokeperson (we had quite a lot of discussions at that time at the 
ICANN DNSO and a special working group. There a method, initiated by 
(and named after) Jefsey, was discussed of joint working was you 
could assimilate to some sort of mail+wiki list (a maintained 
position page). This was too complex for a list like the DNSO.

Another idea we had from the Jokey Smurf experience was a "multi-guy" 
sender. Multi-generation was opposed to Multi-cast one of us was very 
found of, and we identified that polylog was adequately scaling in 
having multi-sender, multi-cast, multi-homing and multi-receiving 
VGNs. Something quite more meshed and datagram oriented than Shanon's 
link. This introduced many possibilities of distorsions (what Shanon 
called "noise", we called it "rumour"). Rumour enthropy could 
obviously not be computed and filtered as Shanon's noise. This is 
when Jefsey came with the Tymnet/Tymshare concepts originated by Norm 
and Ann Hardy of agoric programming 
(http://e-drexler.com/d/09/00/AgoricsPapers/agoricpapers.html). He 
proposed the polylectic notion of agoric, as a polylectic 
generalization of Aristotle's syllogistic dialectics (logic) and 
Wiener"s monolectics (action/reaction) (cybernetics).

You bet that our "multi sender group" (M S G) kept discussing this! 
One idea emerged from discussing the ICANN constant lies and the open 
roots issues: to try to collectively reduce (mutual filtering) the 
rumour. The idea came as the "telepresse" mailing list where everyone 
could give his/her information on the rumours, I could sum up (as 
Steve Farber does). However, this was a lot of non-necessary mails 
and we had identified that mailing list principle did not scale. So 
we embodied the "multi-sender-guy" in me, also due to my initials, 
and it became the mg at telepresse.com jokey. We even embodied it on 
wikipedia and we saw the rumour developping there, some telling that 
I was Swiss others Canadians.

As explained we all shared the same old Eudora copy. We used 
different tricks to make it work our shared way. The way we do it 
today is not fully satisfactorily. So we thought about transfering to 
Google through FSP4NET, but we were filtered on this list.

Except for JFC who is mainly interested in architectonics 
(understading how the whole thing works) we are either interested in 
brainware (how people individually/collectively use/govern a machine) 
and software (how the machine can answer the human/network needs).

So, we all are interested in polycracy, the way the multitude may 
self-govern itself and how it relates to democracies and autocracies 
(the IETF is a good example). People like me are more interested in 
the rumour's relational issues, governance,  MSism pollution, etc. 
Some are more interested in the technical/administrative aspects like 
Elisabeth.

Jay Daley's attack was interesting as it helped us considering a few 
points we did not considered much and reviving the whole thing (we 
never went to 148 maximum, but we climbed upto 27 JEDI's).

1. we need a better technical fit between VGN and mailjokey 
architectures to support inter-apps shared writting (mail, wiki, 
registry maintenance, etc.). There are discussions as Jefsey thinks 
that Json style intelligrams corteges should be the "information 
quark" and others are more immediately pragmatic and would like to 
weld together some existing pieces.

2. polydentity. My name was used due to my initials and my interest, 
but this obvioulsy does not scale to other topics and projects. We 
need to decide if Jokeys should always be a real persons or could be 
totally virtual. Would it be OK to have an American Mike S. Galton? 
Could we use "(vp)" after a name to indicate that this is a (virtual 
person). How do we know it is not a Turing Test winer machine? This 
is important as it decides of the legal status of a Multi-Stakeholder Group.

3. Polycracy/Democracy. Jay has raized the basic polycratic/MSism 
issue. By being impolite and agressive he has built-up a campaign 
against the polite rumour/disinformation filter of a group of 
persons. The people I represent are democratically more important 
than Jay alone. They only thought that they did not need to pollute 
the system with many mails when they only needed a few mails from a 
single querrying persona/spoke person.

4. innovation hysteresis. From a general point of view, the attitude 
of Jay Daley and followers, shows that people focus on unusual 
details rather than on big innovations. Understanding who wrote a few 
words is more important to many good people than the concept they 
convey. If we are a few academic, retired people, entrepreneurs, 
professionals, etc. buzy people associated in a non structured 
polycratic node, it is because:
- we think our experimentation is interesting and innovative
- based upon the most common and general embodiement (VGN) of the 
digital individuality (digitality)
- that ordinary people intuitively accept evrywhere
- but technicians seem to have some difficulty to grasp.

This is interesting as it aslo means that the status-quo strategy may 
result from a sysops mental status-quo.
