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

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

Judyth and all,

  I have ben following along, but refrained from commenting for
a while on all this nonsense.  I am somewhat displeased and
also baffled as well as to Joop's intent.  It seems that it
is to take over the Web site ICANNATLARGE.ORG.
As most of you here know, when our Domain Name
was being passed around like so much borsht, I was
for turning it over to the membership and HIRING as
web master.  Wg-Web would direct what is to be posted
on ICANNATLARGE.ORG as to content.  Some thought
this was too confusing and divisive.  It could very well end
up that way too!  None the less what we have now is
worse.  We look ineffective at best currently.
