I have specifically refrained from making any such judgement until I can 
examine your practical proposal on how to make a democratic decision, 
regarding a typical issue that ICANN might be deciding upon.

Your proposal may be workable, it may not. Until we hear it, we can't 
tell.

 >Roland Perry is NOT listening to me

Oh, I am. But I just keep hearing the same thing over and over again.

I don't think I've expressed an opinion on the level of democracy 
currently operating inside ICANN. And I can't tell whether your version 
would work, because you keep failing to describe it.

Why do you think I don't support you? Until you give us an idea of how 
your new processes would work, it's impossible to know whether we'd 
support them.
