That was not my intention.
If you followed the thread, my comment was in reply to a series of comments 
that claimed that only Motion #1 was important.

Can we put the issue to rest with a statement, that I do believe can be 
objectively made, that there is large consensus in the GA on criticism to 
ICANN? We may disagree on whether it is correct or not for the GA to address 
USG, we may disagree on the evaluation on ICANN being able or not to reform 
itself, but there is consensus on "there's something wrong with ICANN".
Wouldn't it be more productive to draft a document that summarizes the 
elements that are unsatisfactory (and the possible solutions) instead of 
trying to pile up new motions that would not add a jota to the matter?

Let me start the list (in no particular order).

- WLS
- failure to hold AtLarge elections
- lack of accountability
- management of .org process
- failure to recognise the role of Registrants (or is this DNSO-only 
matter?)

I am personally also unhappy about the renegotiation of the contract with 
Verisign in terms that will give a blessing for the management of the 
Registry and Registrar activities for .com, but I recognize that this is old 
stuff, and maybe other folks would not agree to raise it up again.

Regards
Roberto
