one of the fun parts of multi-stakeholder is 
trying to accommodate other stakeholder's 
concerns.  Someone at the last IGF said about 
rough consensus that there's always someone left 
with the "rough".

Would the world stop if the red cross got what they wanted?

Perhaps push harder against olympic, but give if 
have to with assurance of no further creep, must 
be written in stone...

Absolutely deny the IGOs who just sent the 
letter: some are member of GAC as observers 
<https://gacweb.icann.org/display/gacweb/GAC+Observers>, 
they have had every opportunity to raise their 
concerns throughout the process.
