Ross,

Might it be more productive to listen to what is said rather than who
is saying it?

I can offer countless examples of how the consensus process within ICANN is
largely a sham and I could hardly be considered a fan of Verisign. For
starters: the founding documents of ICANN, the sweeping bylaw changes that
have been made, the "clean sheet study" to decide whether or not
individuals should be represented within ICANN, the UDRP, the board
squatters, the TLD selection process, ICP3, the list goes on and on and
on.

Quite honestly I can't even remember half the examples because there are
so many.
