Frank,
I agree, there is nothing strange or naïve in such expectations. It even should
be normal situation in normal international organization with public
participation like ICANN is or is intended to be. However, your message reminds
me of the announcement of discovery of America in the 21st century or sudden
reviviscence of Sleeping Beauty.
People here have been loudly pointing this out for years in order to balance
the influence of pro-public and commercial personal interests within the ICANN
structures and among ICANN staffers. The overall official approach is
half-hearted and almost ineffective burdened by hidden fear and untenable
respect towards 'authorities' allowing them further smooth exploitation of
ICANN mission for their own sake. In every normal healthy public-based society
people like that, especially in high positions, would be eliminated in few
days; in ICANN they are sometimes almost glorified. The public participation
does not mean exuberant conversations at 'low' level while tacitly respecting
the money-addiction taboo by which decisions of high-level decision makers are
eventually driven. ICANN is not a private enterprise nor is yet another
American dream how to make fortune at any price. It is an international
non-profit organization with its core values and accountability. Its mission is
a service to people in the first place.
The time is about to change and Paul Twomey has already understood this. This
could be a nice opportunity also for some others to think over it.

To Karl and Carlos,
I don't believe that there is anything strange or naïve in the expectation that
participants in an organization which represents a global community would
conduct themselves at a level of discourse and behaviour that includes
respectful communication. This is an international forum for debate and
discussion, and while no one has the reasonable expectation of Platonic debate,
neither do participants want to be involved in name calling and behaviours
which more closely resemble a school yard at recess than an international
cooperative effort.
There is no proposal that any party not vigorously pursue the advocacy of their
own position, only that they do so in a manner that is respectful of others.

Dear Karl:
Yes, this document sounds to me some (at least) "naive". Specialy at this
moment of ICANN history.
When I decided reply this, for an instant I thought to say respectfully another
strong word, but then I thought in the diversity and cultures and point of view
different.
In my oppinion we need to see the reality and say in a clear manner how is it.
whatever being the words uses.
greetings
