this is necessary, but we know what would happen: Certain People known
for provocation and disruption would bedevil discussion, ICANN's staff 
would kibbitz it by imposing arbitrarily high criteria (impossibly ex-
pensive authentication etc), and, once the deadline is past, the whole
thing will have been proclaimed a failure.

change 'approved by ICANN' to 'approved by the SOs' or maybe even 'ap-
proved by the NC,' and the result might be different.

happily committed to 'studying' the ALM.
