Hi Sotiris:

Notes to the masses ... Mr. Sotiris Sotiropoulos is the canadian regional

I agree.  I know Danny has some faith the process will some day be saved.
But as you know I predicted ICANN would make a mess of the dns some five
or more years ago and I have been proven right.  Indeed it is a dogs
breakfast.  I certainly would support a petition with copies to all U.S.
senate and Congress members.

Of course my time these days is in supporting the inclusive namespace
community and I do that every day I publish my url

		www.baptista.god

as you can see it gets icanns attention - at least the root server
operators are seeing it ... which see

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/29185.html

The icann@large community of users should simply take my lead and support
the inclusive namespace.  It's the place to be ;)  And as I have
repeatedly pointed out - the end user is in charge which essentially means
you - the user and every user.

Maybe a petition should be considered in support of the inclusive
namespace community - which see www.tlda.net and members of the
alternative root community - which see

    http://www.dot-god.com/resources/ROOT.html

After all these are the only people who are expanding namespace and
working co-operatively.  And the only people who will give the atlarge a
seat at the table as an equal member.
