[Ecommerce] ICANN At Large Members and Bottom Up Management

[James Love]

Given the new ICANN decision to create free open at large membership, it
is interesting to think about the types of issues that would be
appropriate for membership referendums.

I say this because the mere existence of an open free membership will
create an opportunity to ask, why not ask the membership?  On a wide
range of issues.  

With electronic voting feasible, lots of issues become interesting.  For
example, I would suggest that a proposal be made in Cario to create a
mechanism for members themselves sponsoring referendums.
