Of course the vote goes ahead.

We represent internet users, not icann.

We organise, we choose our own agenda, we determine our course for
ourselves.

icann is so "old world" and diminutive

We embrace a more ennobling future and destiny.

Our vote is Our vote.

We decide.

We take the consequences.

We act on those consequences.

We follow due process, as Vivek says.
