i can't speak for others, but i can say that in response to your question 
about criteria one could apply either to a re- form of ICANN or to a pos-
sible successor, i mentioned *looking back at those materials with the 
benefit of hindsight*. this you dismissed with vaporous rhetoric about 
'internet years´ and, now, with a rather silly necromancy metaphor.

for reasons of economy i snipped our your bit about rewriting history,
but it seems odd that you'd make that claim then indulge in this kind
of rubbish.

for reasons of economy i snipped out your bit about the MoUvement, but
if this is how you mangle santayana, i'd be curious to hera how you do
the same to marx's observation that thef irst time it's a tragedy, the
second time a farce.
