Bertrand:
Your enthusiasm is good. Hopefully a new generation of advocates can
pick up liberating IG in and outside ICANN from us old, battle-scarred
veterans. A few comments:

I like ICANN 2007. Because Sept. 2006 is when the current MoU expires.
And seven is a lucky number in our culture....I think we need to press
for more immediate reform. Be reminded, ICANN 2.0 has been taken, that
is the ICANN that abolished democracy. It would have to be 3.0.

Governance
>(now broadly visible in the general public but maybe too large)

Yes, as we are learning it is bad to confuse the two. IG will remain as
an issue and on that one governments will have a larger role to play.

I like your outline but will ahve to consider specifics more carefully.
See you in Tunis?
