  And that is a very good question to ask anyone that is a fund raiser
or
in the process of raising funds.  I know I do!

  I don't have a credibility quotient problem that I am aware of in any
real
sense of that term.  Sure, I freely admit, and have admitted many times
before,
there are those in conjunction with ICANN that have a false and
disgruntled
opinion of me.  However that has worked in my favor within the current
Bush administration, and the former Clinton administration, and have
very good references from both that I have posted on occasion to various
ICANN related forums amongst other forums.  I am frequently requested
personally to aid in fund raising for a number of various organizations,
including even constituencies of ICANN.

  However be all of this as it may, I will answer any and all questions
honestly and directly put to me from anyone unless it infringes on
a member of our organizations privacy, or an anonymous donor to
our organization or any other organization that I have in the past
three years aided in fund raising...  So Jan, if you have any questions
to ask me, you have my E-Mail address, and two phone numbers by
which I can be reached.  SO feel free to ask anytime via either, or
if you are in the Dallas area I would be happy to set aside some
time to chat with you mano a mano if you so choose.  >:)
