I think fixing it only via a quiet word in the ear > is actually less desirable Usually, I would agree. But --deliberately stating this as a hypothetical and without commenting on or trying to extrapolate from prior ICANN behavior -- suppose you had an organization with a long history of reacting to public criticism with defensiveness, denial, stonewalling, coverups, or what, in some cultures, would be called "fancy footwork". Even if there were less of a pattern but some tendencies toward reactions of that type, someone observing the problem would be faced with a tactical choice between a pair of goals: * If the main goal was the get the problem fixed, pointing out the problem quietly would probably have better odds of success. * If the main goal was to hold the organization's feet to the fire with the hope that similar situations would be avoided in the future but little expectation of getting the present one fixed (at least without loss of a lot of time and the shedding of real or virtual blood), then making a public stink would probably be the better choice. And this sort of thing and the need to consider the possibility of reactions other than "yes, that is a problem, let's get it fixed" is why many people in our community prefer working with emotionless computers and networks to dealing with humans. :-( best, john
