Anne, Not sure why you are taking offense to this. You may not like his analogy but Ruben is simply point out the reality of the world and in particular business and politics where a Board, company, politician, or political party takes a certain action publicly and claims they are agreeing with their opponents or a third party that has influence over them while the effect of their action is the opposite. To believe that ICANN org is somehow special and different from other companies and organizations and doesn’t engage in this type of gamesmanship/strategy is simply naive. Best regards, Marc H.

Jeff definitely has the right approach to this issue and the door is open to reconsidering policy when the public comment comes in. Saying good faith or bad faith would imply knowledge of private communications I don't have; professional wrestling is a theatrical entertainment where what gets publicised is less than what the players discussed and agreed to. But I stand by what I said that a number of GAC Advice implementations are actually rejections, for the good and bad of it.
