 Alan, 
 Te escucho. Yo también estoy de acuerdo en verdad podríamos categorizar y yo no tienen 
 problema con los que usted ha definido. También podemos estar de acuerdo que una variedad 
 de las motivaciones para servir traerá rendimiento variable. 


 Al igual que usted, la emoción de los viajes aéreos es cosa del pasado para mí también. Hago lo que 
 Debo. Estos días después de 4 días de tiempo transcurrido, por lo general soy listo para ir a casa. 
 Tengo sólo dos viajes de placer que quedan en mí; teniendo que Transiberiano 
 Exprese tren de Moscú a Extremo Oriente ruso y Vladivostok, una caminata 
 a través de Mongolia. Alguien me quiere entregar un beneficio viajes continuación esos son los 
 únicos que contarán! 


 En cuanto a que el tercero grupo que replantear, es realmente molesto es que aparecen, 
 corto en incluso la intención de ayudar en el trabajo pesado. Parafraseo que 
 eminente filósofo Forrest Gump; 'Representantes son como una caja de 
 chocolate, nunca se sabe lo que va a conseguir ".Unos-do-pozos ne'er voluntad 
 conseguir a través de los procesos de nuestro tiempo y otra vez. Veo esto como un precio que pagas 
 voluntarismo; lo que yo llamo los resultados y el desempeño desiguales. 


 Es como el programa de Becas de ICANN. No puedo decirle cuántas Fellows 
 - Algunos de los cuales he recomendado - hemos tratado de participar después de la 
 viaje de confraternidad que simplemente nos ignoran. Para algunos la semana comunión 
 experiencia fue abrumadora; demasiado lleno en día que son demasiado largos. 
 Se preguntan cómo puedo encontrar el tiempo para hacer la ICANN con todos mis otros compromisos 
 y los intereses que saben sobre. Algunos incluso me han preguntado directamente si estoy 
 me paguen "debajo de la mesa '! Pero cosechamos unos pocos para el largo plazo. 
 Una vez más, vamos a manejar las expectativas. Debemos esperar resultados desiguales y 
 actuación. 


 -Carlton
