  Good questions.  And ones that are not likely to be answered here
or in Accra.  At least not directly and most likely not honestly given
the current tenor of the behavior of the ALSC to date.  One question
that you seem to have left off is: Why should the stakeholder community
have any trust in the BoD and staff of ICANN in light of this
recent potential information, unless it is completely false?
