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

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

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

  Danny was not "absolutely Right", but he is right in being suspicious
in this instance.  I share that part of his post on this thread, as I do
your comments in concern below Richard.

  I will repeat again as I have a number of times in the past:
There will be NO individual equitable representation as BoD
members in ICANN as long as the current "Regime" is in place.
There will be NO stakeholder/user voting on proposals, issues,
or uses or what types of technology in ICANN, as long as the
current "Regime" is in place...
This was as Karl Aurebach once mentioned, decided some time
ago now...
