FYI, I have just published an article titled "The Empire Strikes Back: ICANN Accountability at the Inflection Point" It can be accessed in condensed form, with a link to the PDF of the full piece, at: http://www.circleid.com/posts/20150923_empire_strikes_back_icann_accountabil... Realizing that you all have lots of pre-F2F assigned reading, I nonetheless hope that CCWG members, participants, and observers find it useful as they prepare for LA. And I welcome any feedback.
