Thomas, Joanna and all stakeholders or other interested parties and
members,

  I must agree entirely with Thomas here.  Joanna, although you were
elected as a panel member and sit as it's chair, lately you have been
dabbling into areas or operation that are inconsistent with good
practice.  Please do yourself, and the members a service and
discontinue those practices or step down as chair and panel
members...

  The vote must continue unabated.
  The concerns regarding TM issues with ICANNATLARGE.COM
and ICANN are overblown and a non-issue at this time.
