Re: [atlarge-discuss] Resignation

[bambang soeprijanto <soeprijanto_bambang@yahoo.com>]

Good Morning
Every Netter;

I am definitely agree with Vitto expression concerning
Jamie's decision to resign.

Jamie, please re-consider again for the sake of future
user of Internet around the world.

I am from Indonesia, whom only a petty internet user
from office or net cafe to grab thing on the net for
avoiding digi-divide. There were thousand folk like me
that count on the very existence of ICANN At large for
the future of Internet in defending the consumers'
need and satisfaction.

I would like to help sorting thing out to get better,
but I have no experience and expertise as well, since
I was ordinary public servant that trying to
acknowledge the gadget for office works.

Hoping that Jamie's reconsideration to resign will
solve that matter, I do really appreciate your unity
in establishing the ICANN Ar large.

Wish you luck of all.

Regard,

bsp
