    +1 Well said indeed Avri.  A critical moment.  I hope the community
    does not accept crumbs, but sticks to its guns.  A lot of excellent
    but messy work was done, and that is the whole point.<br>

      <div>Hi,</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Or we may have to realize that the Board's fear of the
        community and the FUD about what we might do, is so great that
        they will never be able to accept a membership model. The
        historical and continuing aversion of ICANN's Board and legal
        advisers to the notion of allowing the community to have any
        kind of membership may just be part of its nature and something
        they are incapable of 'blinking' about. It may be the threshold
        ceiling this experiment in bottom up multistakeholder process
        can never move beyond. ICANN may, by its very nature and
        history, never be able to become fully what it aspires to be
        recognized as.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>It then may be up to the community to decide to take whatever
        crumbs of accountability we can get.  One thing I am certain of,
        one way or another, ICANN will come out of this process changed.
        It will either continue to lead in developing a true
        multistakeholder model. Or it may just settle into a slow
        decline as another organization that never lived up to its
        promise.</div>

              <div>I personally attach a very hight level of  support to
                the Board,s comments which stem from 17 years of
                valuable experience. While I support and appreciate
                public comments but we should give special attention to
                the valuable comments from the Board and should not put

              <div>I respectfully disagree with this sentiment. I give
                no greater weight to the comments of a member of the
                Board than I do to a comment from  the least privileged
