They are partially in response to the Names Council resolution and the changes 
do provide better benefits to the Internet community.  Whether enough to make 
the entire revised package better than the status quo is not something I want 
to rush to judgement on and neither should the Board IMO.

Many of us did not bother suggesting improvements because it was said in no 
uncertain terms none at all would be considered.  If stakeholders had known 
the "non negotiable" agreements were negotiable then quite a different set of 
feedback may have been provided.

There is now no opportunity for the Names Council or any constituency to give 
meaningful input to the Board as to whether this latest set of changes 
partially or wholely meets their concerns.
