I support a rebid not because I expect the DOC to generate or 
negotiate a better structure next time but rather because the 
current ICANN structure lacks any form of accountability. Rebids 
might be a way of compensating for this severe shortcoming. In the 
unlikely case that we succeed in achieving a rebid, ICANN's  
successor might be less indifferent with regard to proper procedure 
and consensus assertions.
