Use the third wish to keep ICANN structured as per the original bylaws; i.e. 
an organization which focuses on coordination, and more specifically, one that 
delegates the primary policy development & recommendation responsibilities to 
distinct supporting organizations (which are independently organized and funded)  
This was changed at the first public meeting with respect to the DNSO by bringing 
it "inside" the oraganization) with long-lasting implications to ICANN's structure
and focus as a result.
