The feeling I keep getting is that the A&T and other reform kind of stuff is ready to be given to us .... AFTER the gTLD goldrush is dome, after all the bad consequences are in place, and we can then have a wonderfully transparent (and associatedly long, inconclusive and probably gamed) process for cleaning up the mess.

I agree that the accountability and transparency still has a long ways to go. But I think it has improved and is improving - albeit too slowly. So I agree that is something we definitely have to keep pushing on. Make them live up to the promises made.
Agreed, so long as we're saying that they still need to fix the A and T first, then do other stuff. There are plenty of nice people working at ICANN, but as an institution it has a great deal of trouble doing what it says it's going to do, for anything that doesn't lead directly to revenue.
