ICANN has done this so many times, it's a wonder everyone doesn't recognize it for what it is!

ICANN wants to do "A"

They publish an interview or something where someone says, "Well, it sure looks like we should do 'A' and there's lots of consensus for it!" Never mind that there isn't. Remember, that's just what ICANN wants to do.

If they get good feedback, they then do "A" and say, "See, we told you there was consensus! That's all we do!"

If they get bad feedback, they first say, "Hey, look, we're just exploring "A," it's not for sure. We need more dialog with stakeholders."

Then, weeks or months later, they say, "See, we told you there was consensus! Sure, there was a lot of dissent at first, but we've talked to everyone, and there's broad consensus for "A!" Now, don't listen to the malcontents and the troublemakers like Karl Auerbach, as they're just trying to tear down the process we've created. Everyone is happy about "A," just ask these trademark lawyers over here, and the entrenched players over there, and look, even Verisign is happy about "A," after we renegotiated with them and gave them more of what they want. What's the controversy? Next issue!"
