If we go forward we need to strongly "Bush v. Gore" this in our SG
response. RySG did a decent job of that - we can be even stronger in our
objection. Ignore them and they will go away didn't work so well for all
the special committees our dear leader created, if this note could brake the
train I can live with it. Still think it could come back to haunt us with
the next manufactured crisis, but as long as us bottom dwelling Fadi
perceived sheep don't board the train - we live to baaa another
day. </div>

As someone who can rival Avri in snarkiness, I want to say in response to Ed
that the best way to respond to Fadi’s manufactured sense of urgency
is with an immediate, urgent message that we are not boarding the train. We
can fill out the details later, but the railroad needs to be braked. Now.

If snarkiness is a quality that causes others to think, that term may apply
to Avri because that’s what she’s done here to me. She’s
right – this is just bad precedent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Look, I know Mr. Chehade is trying to create sense of urgency, a sense of
crisis that we’re all supposed to respond to by getting in alignment
with whatever he proposes. Accountability and transparency are perhaps
the two most vital issues facing ICANN today. As a Stakeholder Group
we’ve been yelling about them for years. We were largely ignored. Now
is not the time to rush to action just because the folks who were ignoring
us suddenly have a self imposed timetable to meet. These are important
issues and the structures for resolving them need to be carefully
considered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
