Really? What specifically offers the impression that ICANN is looking to
its slowest-acting RALO -- which doesn't even have a MOU in place -- for
leadership? What I've read, from mail on this list as well as privately
sent, indicates the exact opposite -- that we're just a notch above
being seen as an embarassment.

The best "leadership" we can offer is getting the fundamentals down (ie,
at least get to the same levels of maturity of other RALOs) before we
start to get creative. Despite all the noise, I haven't seen much to
instill any confidence that we can even work _within_ the box, let alone
push the boundaries.

Let's demonstrate that we're capable of walking before boasting that we
can win the sprint.
