FYI, RSSAC was pretty much out of the loop on this, and has not even
seen the full report (of which this is a santized excerpt).  Louis
Touton's explanation boils down to "hey, we asked RSSAC to help write
this, RSSAC did a bit of work on the first draft then went lame on us,
we had deadlines to meet, so we finished it without RSSAC's help."

I have not figured out whether RSSAC or ICANN is more at fault here
(the competition is keen).
