This is one of the most authoritarian, if not to say totalitarian,
messages I have ever seen in this four-year-long process. I have
been derided for accusing ICANN of being a dictatorship, but if this
is not an "order from on high" I don't know what is.

Who is this woman? How dare she tell any of us what to do and when?

This is the reason that most of the best people have left this
process. It makes one want to bury the Internet forever.
