[discuss] ICANN governance structure

His latest speech before the US Congress capture his main ideas about ICANN. Unfortunately the US Congress Website doesn´t work anymore. I have a paper copy but do not find now. Will scan and distribute it as soon I have it. Probably somebody else has the text.
