[atlarge-discuss] Re: [ga] ICANN Staff's at-large website

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Danny and all former DNSO GA members or other interested parties,

  Danny, I think you are jumping before looking closely here again.
ALAC.ICANN.ORG is " At-Large Advisory Committee" website
sponsored by ICANN, not an official At-Large.  However I would
say that the handwriting is on the wall here...  I would suggest
that you Danny in particular and everyone review this site
closely..
