Peter and all assembly members,

  There is treatment available!  >;)  But I also essentially said
below that it's not just the job change.  Kent has for some time
been a ICANN staff and most of the BoD supporter.  Also

as well...

  However Kents new position with ICANN may not
influence his positions.  But I haven't seen any thing he
has stated recently that would indicate such...
