Congress usually works much more openly than the Executive Branch, so I expect that the Chair had widespread support from others on the committee - if not in Congress. There is also the Judicial Branch that also has its rather independent views on law and process. I'd be surprised if any of the ICANN-GAC stuff passed judicial muster. But we'll see what Congress thinks first. --tony
