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?
