[NCUC-DISCUSS] [info] Draft New ICANN Bylaws Posted for Public Comment

[Kathy Kleiman]

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