Stephane,
Thank you for the well put response and I agree completely. All
Councilors, esp. the Chair, should protect the processes that have been
so painstakingly put in place. It has nothing to do with bureaucracy,
but has to do with defending the integrity of the bottom up processes
that ICANN has committed to. If any Councilor disagrees with those they
need to attempt to change (not circumvent) them through appropriate
mechanisms. In my opinion, we have accepted that responsibility by
accepting our appointments to the Council.
Tim
