Some if not many would say that the ICANN staff juggernaut has its own agenda, and as such, the at large movement is something to be tolerated but otherwise ignored and rolled over. It is something like that game Katamara Damacy. From the wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katamari_Damacy: "The game's plot concerns a diminutive prince on a mission to rebuild the stars, constellations, and Moon, which were accidentally destroyed by his father, the King of All Cosmos. This is achieved by rolling a magical, highly adhesive ball called a katamari around various locations, collecting increasingly larger objects, ranging from thumbtacks to people to mountains, until the ball has grown great enough to become a star. Katamari Damacy's story, characters, and settings are bizarre and heavily stylized, rarely attempting any resemblance of realism...." At 10:49 AM -0400 4/6/11, John R. Levine recently said:
I remain concerned that the "outreach" attempted through the only North American meeting since November 2007 has no measurable effect as yet.
Personally, I wouldn't care whether the board members are male, female, black, white, or green, so long as we could find some with the ability to get the ICANN staff under control. So far, no luck.
