Re: [atlarge-discuss] Re: PANEL CHAIR ELECTION - Free ISOC Membership - and no voice and vote by individual members..

Bruce and all stakeholders or other interested parties and members,

  Whit all due respect Bruce, I think you may still be missing Erics
point.  The ISOC and in particular to ICANNATLARGE.ORG,
Vittorio, is decidedly against any individual voice and vote on
issues, or policies that may effect the central aspects of the internet
in any way.

  Your voluntary works with disabled veterans, which I also occasionally
do myself, has little to do in comparison with the ISOC, the Panel election,
and ICANNATLARGE.ORG...

  Of course many of us I suspect, are engaged in many different
activities, I know that you are and I am, as well as Eric and Sotiris.
But those activities and their organizations, have nothing to do with
Internet policy per se.  But the ISOC does...  Hence Vittorios
election by the other Panel members as Eric has rightly pointed
out as a very potential and likely a COI, is well founded as a
result..
