Internet users and suppliers with experience of the ITU realised its decision-making process was too slow for the fast-evolving Internet and lobbied for something else. As ICANN started the ITU model of suppliers and users was adopted.

The founders of the Business Constituency (BC) were phone companies such as BT, AT&T, and Telefonica who had a foot in two camps (internet service providers and users). By 1999 brands found they were suffering online from counterfeits and impersonation and looked to their intellectual property lawyers to help. The first members of the intellectual property constituency were all US lawyers.  The members of my organisation – the European Brands Association – faced the same intellectual property issues and having discovered the existence of ICANN decided in 1999 to join the BC which had a broader user focus. Seeking influence, I became a member of the Names Council at the end of 1999, and then Chairman from 2001 – 2002.
