I agree.  They can figure out what ICANN Is before they accept the 
invitation.  Plus it is dead boring.

THis is lots already, happy to do privacy with whatever focus you think 
is best (presumably all on WHOIS and escrow requirements). You might 
want to talk a bit about the ongoing problem of function creep for 
ICANN>....nature abhors a vaccuum, GAC wants content intervention, etc.
Please lets not put all the time on IANA.
Has anyone talked to the guys at Carnegie?  They have big rooms and are 
often accommodating....or even Public Citizen?
cheers STeph
