Hi John,
As an interested and informed party, I must agree --
there have *not* been any public discussions on the
formation and/or structure of the ASO. On the other
hand, the Regional IP Registries (RIRs) appear to be
having private discussions on these issues.
The problem, as I see it, is not the private discussions,
it is the lack of public input into the process. If the
RIRs want to spring a fait accompli plan on the Internet
community in Singapore, they do so at their own risk.
I've have been assured by Commerce that, before ICANN
approves a Supporting Organization, their plan must be
posted for public comments. Any deficiencies will be
highlighted at that time.
Given that IP addresses are a *much* more valuable
Internet asset than domain names, this process will
certainly be watched closely by Commerce, Congress,
and the entire Internet community.

No thank you. I have no plans to form an ASO. As
an interested party, however, I think it is important
for the RIRs to conduct an open process, just like
DNSO.org and the IETF are currently.
IMHO & FWIW,
Jay.
