Dear Long Suffering Members, I commend the details submitted to the Panel for the forthcoming vote in relation to the choice of organization name, posted at http://www.fitug.de/atlarge-panel/0209/msg00034.html and http://www.fitug.de/atlarge-panel/0209/msg00035.html. Absent any objections by the majority of Panel members, this vote will commence on Saturday 7 September. For those who may have been experiencing doubts as to why they are still participating, I would just like to share something that has reassured me today. "This organization recognizes that the general user is going to be disenfranchised by everyone else who has a hand in the pie. If we accomplish nothing else, we can disseminate information that will give a different perspective to the one emanating from ICANN. Hurdles are being placed in our way at every turn and in order to work around them, we require resources that we do not have. It is tempting to give up, but our priority is to keep moving forward in the full and certain knowledge that the impact of our efforts is cumulative."
