Big moment
The room wasn't actually buzzing with energy (in fact you'd have to say it was near empty), but there was a big governance biological petri dish moment today: the ICANN experiment may become a private international organization, based in the US. There are lots of steps between here and there, but it's starting.
Needed: much more detail about accountability — without the backstop of the USG and litigation pressures, and with no ability to remove Board members or GNSO Council members, who's going to tell ICANN when they've overstepped in some way?
