That is correct. The fundamental power and authority of mebership is
the right to vote on the bylaws of the organization. The ICANN board
has denied this
Hi Curtis,
You are asking some good questions about some basics
philosophies behind the design and structure of ICANN :-)
By all appearances, the people behind ICANN don't

Believe me, we have considered this, and many other options as well! The
level of interest has simply taken us by surprise. The problem is that a
delay would then be "unfair" to those who tried and didn't know about the

to give another chance to those who have been unable to access it?
Curtis -
I am ready to resign when appropriate, but in this case it is not.
