What it really looks like is ICANN is restructuring its charter. The President of ICANN, Stuart Lynn, unveiled a proposal that cuts out Internet users from the ICANN board entirely and asks for government monetary support." I'd also like to remind people that the meetings are being webcast, and today's meeting is starting right when this story goes live. It's not exciting stuff - think "CSPAN" - but it is important stuff.

New.net has submitted a proposal for ICANN reform into a more market-based mechanism with policies that are only based on voluntary consensus. An interesting read.
