Re: [atlarge-discuss] tone of debate...

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Danny and all stakeholders or other interested parties,

  Essentially Danny makes a sad but very good point here.  Dealing
with ICANN in a respectful manner has and will continue to get
ignored by in large.  There is not need to get vulgar, but insistent,
persistent, and consistent in our approach is more likely to
be successful...

  We must ask the tough questions and insist on direct and concise
answers.

  We must insist on being heard, recognized, and respected for
our positions.

  We must have a voice AND a Vote on any and all issues, policies
and other considerations regarding the policies that ICANN or
any possible replacement may be deliberating or otherwise
considering.

  We must insist on openness, and transparency in any and all
Task Forces, Working Groups, or other types of committee
structures to be established to work on Issues...
