Again if my experience is anything to draw on, they have long since bought in an advanced group of specialist hunters/fixers.  I would be curious to know if that was the case.  ICANN has among its various contract crews some amazingly competent people, I trust (and hope I am right) that they have made outreach to the appropriate set of outside specialists.

What I meant by my comment was that a software bug doesn't rise to the
level of involving the policy community, of which this list is part.

It's a procedural issue IMHO, not a policy issue that NCSG should
spend cycles on, but I guess it's too late for that ;-/
