And don't forget that the coin with which we paid for the "ombudsman" was the 
loss of publicly elected members to the ICANN board of directors.

A real director, one who takes his/her job seriously, understands that part of 
his/her obligation is to inquire into how the corporation is behaving and to 
consider whether corrective action is needed.

And unlike a hireling ombudsman, a Director has statutory rights to make such 
inquiries - as ICANN learned in court when they tried to deny a Director's 
statutory rights.
