This is also a pretty good summary of my views.  Despite the efforts
of Thomas and other members of the Names Council I have absolutely no
confidence that the Board will adopt any progressive reforms that
weren't planned by the staff anyway.

able to win the trust of the internet community. However a replacement
body could if not captured by a few insiders.
