There are eleven other groups represented in the discussions.  The 
ICANN Board is not part of those groups.  If there isn't anyone who 
would disagree with that conclusion it may help if that position 
could be expressed publicly.  The IETF could then have its (internal) 
discussion about the questions in your message and the other messages 
posted to this mailing list.
