Thanks to Robin and Carlos, this new ICANN chart got wider attention. 

What are we going to do? Accept this quietly? Or can our ExCom draft a 
short/quick statement and send it to the ICANN Board Chair, the ICANN CEO, 
and the GNSO Chair, saying something like "don't try to pretend to the public 
that the GNSO reform is already finished without taking our opinion into 
account?
