Yes, quite true. Although I was thinking more of discussions around the
issue by the community.

In fact I've recently been reviewing some of the glut of reports that ICANN
has thrown up over the years. Of most interest to me was John Palfrey's
participation in ICANN paper, following by McLaughlin's response.

I occasionally try to get Palfrey and Zittrain interested in ICANN again but
I suspect they are still suffering the trauma.

What's interesting is that some papers still seem relevant today and others
sound like they're coming from a different era. I have a bundle of six on
UDRP that are sitting waiting for me to wade through - I think one is yours.

You know, I think that's very unfair.  There were a number of thoughtful 
analyses and reports around the time of the election by a large number of 
groups.  Several were quite thoughtful - even the ones I didn't agree 
with.  (FWIW I wasn't a great fan of the electoral system, although Board 
Squatters were worse.)

Unless of course you haven't ever read those reports?
