I believe that we have already had this debate several times in the past.The
Named.root(s) belong to the Internet community as a whole, not any one
organization or company. An organization may "Manage" that (those) Named.root(s),
but they do not "Own" them.

The "Power" they hold is in the software that they have developed.In the Case of
BIND, that is public domain Software, so no real
power can be inferred there. As to a "Class" of member as it may
relate to an SO or the ICANN itself, that discussion has also been pretty much
flushed out as well starting at the IFWP Reston Conference and was again
repeated in NSI's original Draft as well. Our proposal took from these
initiatives
those fundamental conclusions.

for further details.

And again, classifying members is a not basing true representation of the
Stakeholder
and User community in an Equal and fair manner which the White Paper requires.
Any such precept would be in stark disagreement with the fundamentals of the
White Paper on those Grounds alone.
