    +1   For those of us who helped with the green-paper/whitepaper and
    draft the initial bylaws this proposal is a great one - and perhaps
    over-due.   Evolutionary reform since 1999 has built not only an
    accountable, multi-stakeholder ICANN - it has created a model for
    broader promotion of multi-stakeholder processes in the
    international system.  If all goes well now in Washington, we as a
    community shall have achieved something which we first aimed for the
    in the late 1990s.<br>
