Jorge,

No one is denying the necessity for this function to be present, or
for the IRAC to be created.  The problem is the methods by which the
members were selected.  There was no open review process of potential
candidates.  The ICANN Board has given lip service to a process that
could have shown the world that it is serious about knowledgeable,
independent review of ICANN processes.

ICANN is failing at the one most important goal it must have; the
confidence of the Internet community.

Perhaps if you read again the Bylaws you can find what is the meaning
of this
Committee.
