I would just like to clarify that I have never said "We need to stick to the timetable." I've said the timetable has been imposed on us by outside forces. It has, in terms of outside this CCWG. Whether ICANN is the prime source of the pressure or others, I have personally had pressure from all the people I mentioned.

I have very specifically not mentioned any particular views about the timetable other than to generally wish we weren't so rushed.

I agree.

Negotiate with whom?

What I see is a conflict of evidence. .NZ (Jordan) is stating that we need to stick to the timetable because of external requirements, as follow

 It is not self-created urgency in the slightest. It is urgency that comes from, among other places, ICANN itself; the United States Government; parts of the technical community who have wanted to be without the USG link for a very long time.

Firstly it is NOT the USG. I heard Mr Strickling say this, in person.

But I will agree that itt does come, as you say, from within ICANN itself. That is exactly self-created urgency/

I cannot see how the technical community can set the schedule on on what is, essential, the construction of ICANN 3.0 and I'd be grateful for a pointer to who, and how, set the schedule in this way.
