Try to be more, um, professional, Amadeu. 
I thought we have left behind the days in ICANN when 
policy debates could be short-circuited by claims
that anyone who disagreed with management was
a tool of NSI or out to destroy ICANN.

But, perhaps I am just jealous, you do seem to make a
better living as a professional ICANN-o-crat (someone 
else pays to fly you to meetings) than I have making 
a profession of "ICANN fighting" (no travel expenses, 
one gets excluded from most committees and positions). 
Circulating from gTLD-MoU to DNSO to ICANN Board 
and back to self-appointed position to the GNSO, your 
profession truly does seem to be ICANN. But that does 
also raise questions about the objectivity of your legal 
advice to ICANN's contracting parties. 

>I still have to see a single serious 
>intellectual argument on that direction.

Apparently you ignored the law review article I produced.
Or have the University of Illinois and the Berkeley Law School
been relegated to your ever-expanding circle of "professional 
ICANN fighters"?
