Indeed!  I think Danny would have had us rush through a process in secret
like ICANN is wont to do, in order to meet their deadline for a formal
submission.  That is exactly what we *shouldn't* do!  We've had enough "star
chamber" politics from ICANN.  We don't need to perpetuate it here!

Anything I am able and can afford to do, I will.  Let me know your needs.

And I for one appreciate the effort!  If the meeting had been in North
America I might have been tempted to massively piss off the wife and show
up!

Danny,

are you saying that our mandate in fact was a little too ambitious for a
group of seven people that are already involved in a ton of other things?
Yes, it possibly was, I can accept this. Are you saying that we're not
skilled or active enough for this job? I can even accept this opinion,
though I disagree with it, and I remember that it has never been so easy to
get people to volunteer *work* (not *words*) for the users' cause, and what
icannatlarge.com has accomplished in the last four months is much more than
any other At Large group accomplished in the last two years.

But if you are saying that we spent the last two months not doing anything,
first, this is not true, and second, any help is welcome, and third, all of
us who realistically could do it took the care to come here in Bucharest to
try to save our cause at the last minute, often on personal funds, which
cannot be said of many other people.
