[CWG-Stewardship] Composition of MRT

This answer, IMHO, is a timely reminder of what is.

I am ever bemused that reasonable men and women would continue to conflate,
even confuse, two different concepts: ICANN, the corporation, is a
different animal from ICANN, the multi-stakeholder organisation. The one
has a different set of responsibilities from the other.

It was a struggle for the At-Large to understand in conceptualising
expected behaviour of an At-Large selected director.  Because we struggle
with understanding the socialisation of an American corporation.  And the
fealty of the directors of the Board of such an animal.

We may need ole Foghorn Leghorn's help here.  But it is time enough to
learn this.
