OK, I am relatively new to this discussion, but what gives...it sounds rather caustic.

 The so-called International meetings remind me
 of the IOC Olympic corruption. It's a show on the
 road seeking fat contributions and attracting all
 the most sorted lawyer, Corporate TM types and
 regular cast of ICANN/IAHC cretins. All of whom
 generally ignore any and all input that deviates
 from their silly commercial, think big agenda.
 It's all a sham Clare. And Ben's Berkman Centre
 is just one of the co-conspirators. They ain't
 listening to me or to anyone not in 100% agreement.
