    +2 Milton, and you pointed out some truly disturbing problems about
    two weeks ago. <br>
    As for me, I am shocked at the tremendous revision to the bylaws
    being introduced. <br>
    I had thought we were adjusting accountability, not rewriting
    ICANN's structure. <br>

            <p>Hi Rafik,<o:p></o:p></p>
            <p>The way I understand it, we are only looking at whether
              the bylaws adequately reflect the principles in the final
              proposal, that the chartering organisations agreed to.
              This does not involve a substantive discussion itself, as
              that has been closed. However, if anyone thinks that the
              articulation of the bylaws haven't quite captured the
              accountability-enhancing recommendations agreed upon in
              the final proposal, then this is the perfect place to
              raise these concerns. <o:p></o:p></p>
