<div style="word-wrap:break-word">At the risk of sounding like a one-trick pony, it seems a propitious time to comment to the Board that ICANN should take a more proactive stance on privacy protection, given the current controversy, and enact binding corporate rules for its global operations.

I think, in the context of what Bill is proposing, that we should use the time to point out that we believe in multi-stakeholderism and we go around the globe promoting it to our more cynical colleagues in civil society, but they have to give us a break.
