  Joe, I must say, you yourself are demonstrating that you are a
very good "Kibitzer" yourself with this response.

  ICANN has already a.) Mangled the White Paper into a contorted
mess it calls a "Mission Statement" or "Reform Plan"...  b.) ICANN
has ignored the MoU almost all together... c.) Go's off on secret
Board meetings in strange locals and calls them "Retreats" and also
than, d.) Kibitzes to death the fact that these secret BoD meetings
are not documented for some strange but unsubstanciated reasons
(Read excuses)... and finally e.) Is amazed at ICANN Meetings
that most of the world finds their behavior illegitimate and
reprehensible...

  Well hell this ought to be worth at least one hundred grand $$
at your fee structure, don't ya think!    Jeeezz Joe, get a grip
on things will ya!  Shoot, give me a monkey and enough bananas
I can teach him to do a better job than you have thus far demonstrated...
