The Board has to accept comments; it's in their By-laws. Check out http://www.icann.org/membership-com.html .

:-) Yeah, that's about the time it would take, and we just don't have it right now. (Most of the staff here are students, and we need to go to class at some point.) It's a good idea, though. If someone else wants to do the compilation, they're welcome to do so; we can host or link to their documents from our server. There are no "secret" lists or anything - the raw materials are out there for public consumption.

LOL!
Actually, is that org chart available publicly somewhere? It sounds like a useful thing.
