.Have you considered forming a list for those who wish to discuss VGNICS and IUse in  general?

Oh, they have -- iucg at ietf.org -- and they've been cross-posting to it regularly.  And you (subject to moderator approval, etc.) have just done so as well -- look at your cc line.  (I, however, have stopped the madness.)

Good to know.

Elizabeth -

 Those interested in the just the "ICANN VGNIC" should be able to discuss its governance  solely using existing terminology if so desired, yes?

 I honestly cannot discern any indication of interest by those on the 1net discuss list to  expanding the discussion to include governance questions applicable to VGNICS in general  (as opposed to simply discussion of governance aspects of the "ICANN VGNIC")

 Since a basic principle your VGN model that user empowerment, i.e."let people organize things  the way they want it" then by definition those interested in just the ICANN VGNIC governance  discussions do not have to adopt your terminology, as it lies beyond scope of their chosen  model.  Have you considered forming a list for those who wish to discuss VGNICS and IUse in  general?

Thanks!
