[bestbits] HLLM update

[McTim]

Jeremy,

It was magical thinking on our part to think that 2 names would be accepted
when the message was "send us a name".

It was also unrealistic to think that that person would be added
BEFORE the London meeting.

I think that ICANN has done exactly what they said they would do in this case.
We should be pleased with the outcome, considering that many other
non-gov/non-IGO/non-biz folks are on the Panel.

Regards,

McTim
