I have no such channels, either. I just think we should focus on things we
can do something about and act as a Domain Name Support Organisation, not as
the Owner of the ICANN company. We can play that we are the owners, but it
will be a waste of time. Let us make some progress on the issues on item 3
on the Agenda for LA:

          - Individual Constituency, 10 min
          - Procedures for GA Chair elections, 10 min
          - Relationship GA/@Large, 5 min
          - Multilingual testbed, 5 min
          - New TLDs,  5 min
          - DNSO Review, 40 min

As you see, there are very few minutes per item, so we need to cover them on
line on beforehand.

Just my opinion.

Best regards,
Alf H
