Dear Kent,
I like when you are reasoning that way. You are probably right for 
everythng you say. But let try to imagine a slightly different environment. 
Let imagine that you have $45.000 (10% of the ALSC) and instead of the 
mission of reforming the ICANN etc. you are just asked to get at least 
2,000 individuals and 2,000 small businesses on board and to keep them 
active. Don't you hink you could imagine a few ways of doing it in using 
your ICANN central position? Do you think they all would be alt-root kooks 
(like me I suppose)? I guess not. Look at what Denise and you are atempting.
