Devs have zero tolerance for bureaucracy and candidly there is not a place that exists within the ICANN multistakeholder model that has any amount of benefits to offset the friction that participation would represent (costs, time, obligations, etc).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000"><br>Browsers (etc users of PSL) voluntarily include it, give or take, at their pace. Can't force anything on them, and straying from our status quo has some of them talking about splintering off their own.
