Looks Like ICANN.ISOC Needs Another Task Force
If .UK Nominet adds another $10 to each domain name, and sends it in small bills to the ISOC in Geneva via a courier, some of the money will make it to Washington D.C. where some percentage will be used to organize a task force of face to face people in California. That task force can then start to organize civil society and look into this. First it will need to set aside some of the money to feed the .UN people in Africa.
At $25,000 per day, Esther Dyson does not come cheap. She may be available to help organize the task force. Allocate $500,000 for her cut. That will get you a couple of days per month, not including the travel expense vouchers which will likely require an equal amount. What the heck, make it an even $1,000,000 for Esther.
From there, you will need to fund Cerf and the rest of the ICANN Staff. Cerf will make sure the Crockers are funded and Klensin. ARIN has plenty of cash and they are dumping it into their big NANOG bash coming up in LA. Mixing the .UK dollars with the ARIN dollars should result in MORE money to spend. It is like a virus, money attracts money.
The ISOC is busy using the .ORG money to fund the IETF insiders. Despite that, the ISOC should be able to hire some more Staff to manage your new Task Force. First, the .UK will have to come up with some money to pay the executive recruiters. Once Staff is in place, after an extensive world-wide search resulting in the same insiders being funded, that Staff can call for volunteers to do the real work. Staff will be busy sorting their digital picture galleries from their last trip to a meeting to organize the Task Force.
What was the Task Force for ? Who cares ? Just add the $10 to each .UK name and then figure that out.
