  I am sure that Judyth is trying to ensure the security of the list.  However
as I recall Judyth some time long before she received the members list
was trying hard to secure herself a position as secretary of this organization
Bruce.  Hence I seriously doubt that anything was "Thrust" upon her!

  Respectfully I don't think I or any member should thank her for
safeguarding our privacy.  Rather is should be obvious in the extreme
that such safeguarding would be the only responsible thing to do.

  Bruce, the Panel is defunct.  There are NO current panel members.

  Understood and this of course must and should be done.  However
the panel before so many left/resinged, refused to get that process off
to a good start, primarily due to Vittorio's malfeasance or irresponsibility.

  We were always from the beginning a target for some ICANN folks
to conduct political disruptiveness.  Those that did not realize that
quite a while ago now, were either fools or stupid in the extreme.

  Agreed.  You can count on it, unfortunately!  :(

  Very much agreed.  And being ignorant is no excuse...
