Re: [atlarge-discuss] Re: Call for New Webmaster, ICANNatlarge voting reminder

James et al.,

I was going to comment on this email myself, but I'm glad I wasn't the first
to remark on it.  It's the IDNO all over again, I'm afraid.  Hopefully not for
much longer as I've a feeling the new Panel will want to settle this matter
ASAP.

Sincerely,

Sotiris Sotiropoulos
