I think we are all agreed that that is the case.  Brett has been handling
his duties well, so far, by not getting in the middle of Panel
squabbles!

Actually, rather than lurking at ICANN's doorstep, I see our role as
focusing on the attendees, not the the meeting, and siezing the At Large
conversation and making it ours.  Since ICANN isn't interested in a viable
At Large, they can't afford to actively promote one.  But by not doing so,
they leave the field open for us!  Everytime ICANN meets, we need to be
there holding open public forums and dominating the At Large conversation.
Eventually, the public will equate the At Large with us.  And *that* is our
primary goal is it not?

|  Shanghai is a necessary distraction. It's not the main course.

Indeed.  The main course is organization and outreach.
