One is that we, the community of internet users, were promised a controlling set of seats on ICANN's board of directors as part of the initial promises of ICANN when it was being created.
I hear you Karl, but it's not about control! It's about doing what's good for the Internet and what's good for the users, and ultimately, what's good for the users is good for ICANN, because what's good for the users will be good for all of the other constituencies being paid ultimately by the users. I have found this understanding at ALAC. I wish others did too and stopped picking nits where there aren't any. Every minute spent arguing about nothingness is 60 seconds lost not working on important issues. Kind regards, O.
