    It should have been "blindingly obvious", although not to someone who was ready to have folks "send them a cheque" for $19.95 for the idea, lol.

    I'm busy on more important things right now, but when I get around to it it'll be there to poke ICANN's board on various issues. Ironically, anyone who is active in a shadow ICANN would have no change of ever being in the real ICANN, due to ICANN's spite for its detractors....so one will have to tread a bit carefully. Unless the DoC allows for a change in stewardship of the various functions of ICANN one day.

    One thing is for certain, that a Shadow ICANN would have at its core the principle of CONSENSUS, which the real ICANN no longer respects.

    Had I had the idea on my own, I would have asked for more. I thought $19.95 was a good price for a refinement.

    For you, though, since you're a countryman, I'll lower the price to $1.98.

    I'm sure there are enough people who would never want to be on the "real" ICANN board to participate. Don't drop the ball now.
