FWIW, I'm genuinely interested. I am trying not to throw my (ICANN's
imputed) weight around, to the extent we have any, so I try to stay brief.
I want to urge the conversation on, not take it over. And I don't try to
answer things to which there are no answers. There's a lot we/I simply
don't know, haven't decided, etc. I try not to take myself too seriously,
but to take this process seriously.
