Re: [atlarge-discuss] What do you have people voting on this week ?....and what difference will it make ?

will be ignored all together...

  I am in agreement that we need to be sending a strong message
to ICANN.  However first we have to be a legal organization if
we have any reasonable expectation of consideration.
