I just got a call from a source in the European Commission (Department for
Information Society). Joe Sims was today in Brussel for some kind of a
closed door meeting with Chrisopher Wilkinson and some other people of the
European Commission (my source did not attend the meeting).

Sims presented plans for a complete restructuring of the ICANN board,
without the at large. If I understood correct with governmental
representatives in the board and with complete different set of ASO, PSO
and parts of the DNSO.

I just reached Christopher Wilkinson on the phone who seemed astonished
about my knowledge on _that_ Sims had been there. I asked for details of
what Sims presented and only got the sentence from Wilkinson, that "he is
not sure if Sims presented this as a position of the board or his own."

To his understanding, this will be presented to the board at Saturday and
he told me, that he would be more happy if I could get the details from
the board. 

Short: he told me to piss off and not disturb the conspiracy.

shocked,

A.
