I don't see this as a flaw; it's another example of history at ICANN, 
since the time the Board was way too bigger than the staff. This, 
hopefully, will change with time. That's why the first directors (you 
included) have spent 60 hours a week, and people have complained 
about losses thay have suffered because of time allocated for pro 
bono work. I agree with you that listening is not the only way of 
achieving information, but you forget reading is more important, esp. 
for non-native English speakers. And reading takes a lot of time, 
too. I don't believe directors in general have failed their duty to 
the organization.
