Jim,

You might want to note that the GIP people seem to be assuming
some sort of "membership" structure, they mention "membership dues".
It seems odd that some people are claiming that the GIP proposal
is the funding vehicle for Jon Postel's IANA Inc. They might be assuming
this because apparently Jon Postel and Vinton Cerf went to high school
together. I am not sure that people can conclude that the GIP proposal
and the IANA.ORG proposal are synchronized because one seems
to support membership where the other does not. Of course, if one
assumes that the GIP people are the "Board" of the IANA.ORG, then
this could be an evolution where we are seeing what the operational
board has decided. If that is the case, then people should be able to
claim that the IANA Inc. is already responding to your comments and
other people's comments about membership and other matters.

"After this period, the GIP believes that the new organization will be
financed on the proceeds of its own fundraising efforts and membership
dues."

P.S. The GIP people seem to match up with the profile
of the IANA.ORG Board that Jon Postel described. They
appear to be "well known" people that do not have a
high net "profile"....except for maybe Vinton Cerf :-)
