Re: [atlarge-discuss] [Fwd: please share with your members,and other organizations and mailings lists]
Sotiris and all,
Thank you for passing this along. I got the standard ICANN announcement
of this from the ICANN-Announce list.
I think I would be wise to review the following before or while
reading the ICANN announcment you provided.
See: http://www.netaction.org/notes/notes90.html
As Denise Michel is on this staff at ICANN it would seem
that the furtherance of this supposed at large effort is in some
legitimacy exposure...
