there do seem to be lots of other forums already in place

absolutely, and it would be useful to know how the decision was made, 
and at what level of the organization -- that, by itself, would be a 
useful input into discussion of how much oversight of ICANN is needed, 
going forward

perhaps a related matter: it sure would be interesting to get some 
feedback on to what extent anybody at ICANN was actually paying 
attention to input from list discussions

Perhaps some direct recognition, by the transition group, that how ICANN 
has handled community input and discussion, is in itself an important 
consideration as transition planning goes forward.
