John .....
please let us know who is not endorsing the ISOC OpenStand among the 
"Lynn and the 11 CEOs"?
https://ripe65.ripe.net/presentations/226-OpenStand_Overview1.pdf

Please do not play with the words. There are five signatorees, then 
the endorsers and the supporters. The ARIN's position in itself is of 
no particular importance. What is discussed here is the ISOC/ICANN 
strategy IRT the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_of_77 position 
over the mutual control of the consolidation of the Internet technology.

May I remind you that:

- "ISOC is a non-profit organization founded in 1992 to provide 
*leadership* in Internet-related standards, education, and policy. It 
is dedicated to ensuring the open development, evolution and use of 
the Internet for the benefit of people throughout the world."
- WCIT has shown that the disagreement is between the notions of 
"leadership" (ISOC lead) and "MS-ship" (people centered). Sao Paulo 
should help clarfying it as a societal and global evolution of which 
the framework is to be defined.

However, the ISOC leadership and BRICS have focussed on the internet 
only forgetting the "layer six" issues. As long as they were only 
perceived as JEDI's ("Jefsey Morfin Disciple's" according to Martin 
Dürst) "idée fixe", its was an epiphenomena. Now DARPA/CGC is a 
response to IAB's RFC 3869 that confirms the complexity of the 
"missing layer" file. Because the software development capacity of 
Russia, China, India, Brazil at least equals the US and Europe one.
