these are details of yet another cat fight into which icann has
wandered in its ever-unsatisfied desire for pool-pah.  i was trying
to look above that.  what fiscal or procedural matters of icann

anyway) preclude simple transparency?  why don't you just simply
publish the stuff at a detailed level on the web [0]?
