  Agreed.  Further, as ICANN is still under contract to DOC/NTIA
I think that they would have something to say regarding any appeal
bu the ICANN BoD and staff...  Also, such an appeal in this
sort of case would be silly as well as the repercussions even if
they won in the appeal would be horrific..

  Good questions.  However even perhaps better would be to
ask Karl if he would not have a auditor review the records
with a fine tooth comb and than publish a in depth analysis.
