Actually, his blog entry sounded surprisingly like he was planning to 
ignore the one stakeholder that still has the power to shut ICANN down.

The promises that ICANN made in the AoC were entirely straightforward and 
reasonable.  It says very bad things about ICANN's (lack of) process that 
a year has gone by and it hasn't occurred to anyone that perhaps they 
should do what they promised they would do.
