Dear Chung,
you explained me better by private mail what you meant. I respond here.

Stuart has taken the lead and called upon everyone in dedicating the MdR 
meeting to Security. My point is; it is the role of ICANN to educate the 
world on the matter, otherwise the ICANN has no 'raisond'être'.

I accept Stuart's position who calls for a crash internal education first. 
But I think no one else than ourselves can give us that education. Each of 
us knowing a part and no one outside of the SOs knowing anything worth: 
otherwise they would be here if they felt concerned and because the issue 
mainly concerns our own interactions within the ICANN and the governance. I 
do not want to waste my time with computer gurus or big company brass hats. 
I am interested in ".mil" people, in GAC intelligence experts. In NATO 
Members of the GA.

So rather than talk shows, the challenge of a clear target will make people 
performing better and motivated by usefulness. It will also keep media 
excited and participative instead of negative.

Stuart was unfortunate in writing ICP-3 by his own. He could be more 
fortunate with ICP-4 if we all  shared with him. The matter and the event 
justify far more an ICP.

I do not think anyone in particular should take the lead: Everyone should 
contribute. I started as BC. Up to the GA now. Not as DNSO but as the only 
permitted one (IMHO there should be GAs at every SO, and every NIC: these 
are the true, active, motivated and cheap to manage @large). Now it is up 
to Stuart to gather what comes up, and to the BoD to decide of the 
orientations of that ICP-4 Internet Security. And to us to kill it :-)

But we do not want to talk rocket science. We want debate bombs, power 
failures, hijacking, financial disasters, flooding, recession, digital, 
financial and lingual divides, hackers on registry systems, legal actions, 
crooks, viruscoms, policy, intelligence, earth breaks, governance and 
dominance, network and social models, etc...
