Try to be more, um, professional, Amadeu. I thought we have left behind the days in ICANN when policy debates could be short-circuited by claims that anyone who disagreed with management was a tool of NSI or out to destroy ICANN. But, perhaps I am just jealous, you do seem to make a better living as a professional ICANN-o-crat (someone else pays to fly you to meetings) than I have making a profession of "ICANN fighting" (no travel expenses, one gets excluded from most committees and positions). Circulating from gTLD-MoU to DNSO to ICANN Board and back to self-appointed position to the GNSO, your profession truly does seem to be ICANN. But that does also raise questions about the objectivity of your legal advice to ICANN's contracting parties.

I still have to see a single serious intellectual argument on that direction.

Apparently you ignored the law review article I produced. Or have the University of Illinois and the Berkeley Law School been relegated to your ever-expanding circle of "professional ICANN fighters"?
