Hi Dave,

thanks for thinking of me :^).

Frankly, I was thinking of a fairly short peer-to-peer note.  Simply saying there are concerns, they have been quite well expressed on this list, and that we wanted to ensure Fadi/ICANN senior management was aware.  No need to hand hold here.   And, until we know ICANN senior management is aware, we do not need to treat this as intentional.

On the other hand, an equally reasonable course of action would be for one of the ICANN staffers on this list to bring it to ICANN senior management's attention and then "someone" gets back to the list.

We are using a lot of cycles talking around something that should be addressed directly, and probably as Andrew says elsewhere.

But, this is just my .02.

Lynn
