 1. The new "complaint" system, which puts ICANN's lawyer (whose job is to 
protect the corporation from complainers whether they are right or wrong) 
in charge of managing complaints. Also affects the independence of the 
Ombudsman in unclear ways.
  
  
 I want to express my support for Milton's proposal to include this 
question in our discussion with the Board. So much wrong with this. The way 
our current Ombudsman is responding to the creation of the Complaints 
officer I'd suggest he already has been co-opted. As ICANN Legal is one of 
the most complained about departments at ICANN having them in charge of the 
complaints process...fox, hen house. Bad idea.
