The main problem is that the ICANN meeting is being used as an informational
seminar. Aside from the fact that security is already in the MHSC core
competency inventory, there are much better security seminars available. The
reason to go to ICANN meetings is to participate in the ICANN decision
making process. That is the value-add of these meetings. MHSC doesn't need
ICANN security briefings, we could probably do a better job of that than the
ICANN can. Personally, I certainly don't feel like commenting on whatever
asinine policies such amatures can come up with, post facto. I consider that
a serious waste of time.

Those unspoken agreements are already in place. Being there won't change
anything.

I've been looking for "manu pulite". Could you explain?
