Hi, Sorry I missed the call, the WGEC marathon in Geneva has swallowed my life this week.

I won't ask you who you are calling a dupe because I am sure you meant it as a expressive generality and weren't actually accusing anyone of being a dupe; that would be absurdly mean. Are we only against ICANN Staff pre-emptive behavior when it is our issues they mess with? If you are saying this is no time to look the gift horse in the mouth because they are sponsoring NCUC's meeting, I understand, especially because of your role as the event organizer. I think, though, that it is important to be consistent about our position on Staff&Board unilateral behavior and not only object when our goals are being interfered with, no matter how much we love Fadi. And he is loveable for a CEO. cheers, avri PS. If this note makes you think i've lost my mind, chalk it up to 2 weeks of WSIS MPP, IGF and now WGEC. IETF next week, yipee!
