Hi,<br>
<br>
I have been informed that sometimes my first reaction can be harsh. This<br>
is a failing I have spent many years trying to reform, since once I hear<br>
the other sides of an issue, my perception frequently softens a wee bit<br>
and even .<br>

This makes me think that perhaps you are right and this is a good pilot<br>
of the newly recommended modality. It would be helpful to see how this<br>
mechanism could work on issues in a community such as ours.<br>
<br>
I would be interested in possibly seconding a motion, if we can phrase<br>
it in the form of a request that the ICANN board initiate such an<br>
exercise. Perhaps they could even request that Beth, or some from her<br>
branded institute for which we have seen multiple notices, lead us in<br>
the activity to show us how it is done. Of course, the board would not<br>
be bound by the outcome, but if they initiated the process, they might<br>
at least consider it as seriously as they consider the panoply of other<br>
advisory panel recommendations.<br>
<br>
I think the exercise may be rather important in that it is only the most<br>
active of voices that we hear on the subject of our leadership. And<br>
whether we love Fadi or not as our leader, or even believe we need a<br>
leader of his caliber and vision, it is a topic where we need to hear<br>
the broader voice of the community before we know whether the community<br>
favors an extended mandate.<br>
<br>
Thanks you for suggesting this, and apologies for my initial pooh-poohing.<br>

Note my earlier email. It may be that no one will hear, but that does<br>
not mean we should not ask.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Interesting idea, but what makes you think anyone on the Board would<br>
care what the crowd had to say. They barely care about what the duly<br>
constituted SOs, ACs or Review Teams have to say beyond what the<br>
by-laws<br>
force them to care about.<br>
<br>
Now, if we can get National government ministers to crowd source the<br>
review, maybe there is a chance they will pay attention.<br>
