Hi Marc

The situation is:

www.icannatlarge.org won the vote. This name was apparently registered for
Jefsey Morfin who offered its use.

www.atlarge.org came second.

However, since the vote took place, it emerges that Jefsey's registration of
www.icannatlarge.org expired on Oct 4th and appears to have been registered
in YOUR name! (Maybe you had applied for this name in a Snapback/Snapnames
or something?)

So the situation is that YOU now have BOTH the top two names, and members
are wondering/hoping you might be prepared to offer the winning name to the
organisation (obviously only if you choose to, and on your own terms)

There have been changes in the organisation. Joanna Lane and Judith
Oppenheimer have both resigned, partly I think because there were concerns
that Icann might challenge the panel legally over the use of the Icann name
in IcannatLarge - however, there has been no evidence to date that Icann
propose anything like this

While I personally take the opposite view to you on the name, and prefer
www.atlarge.org the democratic vote opted for www.icannatlarge.org

The new Chair, Hans Klein, may get in touch with you to discuss things

None of the above presupposes your own wishes or suggests any assumption as
to what you want to do.

With kind regards

Richard Henderson
