Incorrect attributation of comment by Alexander Svensson to: Re: [ICANN-EU] Re: Quote from Esther

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

Alex and all,

  The below statement/comment I DID NOT forward or make.
So please don't attribute it to me.  Thank you.

  I agree with Andy's comments regarding Esther Dyson's remark
in the Wired article.  I did add that many of us that have been involved
in this process for 4+ years now have known of Esther Dyson's
attitude for some time.  But that comment was not part of what
Alexander incorrectly attributed to me.  Thank you!

  Please try not to incorrectly attribute comments to someone that did
not make them in the future, Alexander.  It would be much appreciated.
