I agree with the sentiment, but not the action. As the saying goes:
"forwarned is forearmed." We shouldn't be quick to close any door. If we
enter into a relationship with ICANN knowing their aims -- and letting them
*know* we know! -- we maintain the appearance of cooperation. If ICANN is
playing to appearences so can we! And that appearance robs them of the
argument that we were uncooperative, when we later have grown to the point
where they have to take us seriously.
