Dear Joe,
If you truly want to make something out of it, why not just to list your 
priorities, one step at a time. Then to try to address them. Dont keep 
talking about DNS stability nor about the ICANN mission. There are 
controversies enough on this. Or start with the basics: the IP addressing 
stability.

Just tell:
- we want to manage an Excel table keeper
- we want to administer the world
- we want to establish a stable committee for the decades to come
- we want to serve the public
- we want to make the structure to survive
- we want to ....

That we can help and discover/correct the flaws.

When we/you know what we want, we may work on conflict priorities, then 
propose, then compare the propositions. Otherwise, I are you not afraid it 
is pure wasted time and money?

In a nutshell, don't you feel that what we realy need is a clear minded 
boss, an organizer? Is the guy who organized the LA Olympic Games still in 
business?
