Everything predetermined by (ICANN) staff? Not quite - there is the very

Shanghai is the first occasion for the ICANN board and its constituencies to
face this challenge.

We had no vote - unfortunately true, because we did not discuss the issues
for which more than 1000 people signed up to this ICANNatlarge group.
