Please don't take this as aggression Wendy, but your comment is hopelessly vague - "everything I see". I don't know what you are looking at but I can only assume you haven't found the public participation website at http://public.icann.org - where anyone in the world can follow ICANN's meeting in webcasts, audiocasts and chatrooms and interact directly and immediately with the meeting itself. Or the blog at http://blog.icann.org where ICANN has been held directly accountable by individual users on the RegisterFly issue in particular. The Board minutes are extensive and name individual Board members and list their arguments, their thinking, their questions and their conclusions. The three new RALOs provide ALAC with the legitimacy it hasn't had up to now. This is what I see in my role as general manager of public participation at ICANN -- what are you looking at? I'm serious, point the arrows and I will see what I can do. Kieren
