Read that letter again, then read the Blueprint for Reform, released last evening. Why isn't every issue raised by the good Congressmen addressed by the Blueprint? The issues may not be addressed the way we'd all like them to be, but it strikes me that the Congressional letter is fairly mild and was purposefully written so it would be answered by the existing process.

Well, let's see. The Congressional letter raises the following issues: [1] ICANN must set out clear and unalterable lines articulating the areas that are outside its mission. [2] Its decision-making process must be transparent, incorporating rules like those of the U.S. Administrative Procedure Act, including defined comment periods and established decision criteria. [3] ICANN must have a fair, speedy, and unbiased independent review process. [4] The Board must include members with diverse perspectives and alternative ideas. The Blueprint [1] refuses to define any areas as beyond ICANN's mission; [2] does not define a decision-making process as described in the letter; [3] eliminates any independent review (unless you think it counts to allow a challenger to invoke a commercial arbitration process leaving him on the hook for thousands of dollars in costs if he loses); and [4] sets up a NomCom process that by its nature will likely lead to a homogeneous Board. Your point, Bret?
