Re: [atlarge-discuss] A proposed letter

[DannyYounger@cs.com]

Dear Joop,

Thank you for your help in bringing this proposed letter to the attention of 
the Interim Panel.  

As I understand it, this Panel has a mandate to guide "an outreach campaign 
so that the highest possible number of active users of the Internet who might 
want to participate in ICANN are informed of the effort and can register on 
icannatlarge.com if they wish".

I must candidly admit that while I haven't thoroughly scrutinized the 
outreach efforts of this Panel, I have not noted a major increase in the 
membership roster during their tenure thus far.  This is not meant as a 
criticism, but rather as an observation that additional steps need to be 
taken...   

This proposed petition to the Department of Commerce might well serve as a 
key tool to help foster the outreach that this organization seeks.  Allow me 
to explain:

By posting the petition on the website, and by allowing all interested 
parties to sign on to the petition (providing their name and address 
details), this document can serve as the focal point for a new effort to sign 
up additional members (you simply need to publicize the petition on 
ICANNwatch, Slashdot, Kuro5hin, and other venues, and to make sure that a 
membership sign-up option is included as a link on the same page that holds 
the petition).

The Department of Commerce has already received letters from "organizations" 
(the GA and NGOs).  They would benefit from a petition signed by 
"individuals".  If you can help to further facilitate this process, it might 
serve all of our mutual needs.

Best regards,
Danny
