Dear Vittorio et al.,

It might be a good idea to recall that at least some of the people you ask for comments which require time and thought really do have lives and work outside of ICANNatlarge. 

The demands on my time are such that I would have hoped I didn't completely waste the two hours I spent on this slightly earlier today. Instead, I  discover that it would have made more sense for me to say "to hell with it" and get some much-needed sleep.

I'm afraid I am **most** unlikely to volunteer to do anything for this group if the conditions of work are to put up with months of dithering inaction and then have any-old-thing slapped up on the Web site if you don't get everyone's corrections and comments within 24 hours.

Sorry to be so snippy about this but I am a professional editor (and a very busy one, too) so the notion of having a "new" Web site which carries forward the errors of the old does not make me want to have my name associated with the project ... even if it is spelled wrong and there's a typo in my e-mail address which means nobody in Quebec will reach you even if they were to take you seriously.

Good night, all,

Judyth
