"the consensus embodied by the White Paper"?!? Did we vote on it? When did 
that happen? I must have missed it!
Why is everybody so critical (and maybe rightfully so) about the consensus 
building process of ICANN, but ready to accept as "consensus" a document by 
the US Government? Let's face it, the White Paper has the obvious advantage 
of being less absurd than the Green Paper who preceded it, and kudos to whom 
kindly accepted some of the overwhelming criticism of the Internet Community 
to the previous paper, but from this to proclaim consensus, there's a long 
way.
It is accepted not by consensus, but because it is the will of the master of 
the game, kind of "these are the rules: take it or leave it".

Regards
Roberto
