As do many of us here.  My greatest fear is that, by trying to keep this an
American techie's club, ICANN will lose credibility.  And its credibility is
all it has to back up its authority.  The recent challenge from the European
ccTLDs points that out.

I am encouraged though by self-starting activities over the last week or so,
however, by people among us who havbe consistently debated on the "side of
light!"
