[governance] Programme outline and schedule released

[Carlos Afonso]

Milton might know unpublished details of the committee's report I do 
not, but what has been published says only what the model would not be 
-- "treaty" or "intergovernmental" organization. It does not imply what 
Milton concludes. It is up to the internal debate within ICANN to define 
this outcome, and I hope at least NCUC and ALAC (spaces for civil 
society) will fight for an internationalization with clear global and 
multistakeholder accountability.
