That was rather an idea before everything started, of ICANN and
Verisign (alphabetical order), if I did not lose my memory completely.

Why does the NC not simply do what is its right (and duty, I would
say) and discuss the TF report and vote without ukazes from _staff_
people?

And let the board decide in an open bottom up way, or something?

Who is in charge? What are we afraid of? The Board saying "NO"? 

Or if not, why do we not save our time and let Touton write NC task
force reports? I mean, I did not participate in this because I am
bored or something. I like to grow trees.
