Re: [ICANN-EU] Re: Quote from Esther

Dear all,
I just wanted to make sure nobody quotes Andy's response 
from the mail Jeff forwarded:

What Andy *really* answered was:
 What shall I say to that? It sounds a little arrogant, and it 
 also sounds like they want to stay a closed club and not let 
 users participate. It sounds like the opposite of open. Meanwhile, 
 Esther Dyson has told me she will be in Berlin on October 23rd 
 and how about having a coffee? So I have an appointment with 
 her. I will find out about her.
