Re: [ICANN-EU] LA @large meeting preparation

[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

Dear JDD,
not so simple IMHO. The reason why is that starting a list takes time
and then a list gets habits, bearings, etc... The icann-europe list has
now its own history. A charter has been devised and the people here
have accepted that the list becomes the icann-europe @large seed.

We have fought together for Andy and Jeannete, and the owner (Thomas
and Hugon) made a very good job. Alexander started a very good site.
Also we have joined forces with icann-fra (for French, not France) where
we had press releases, meetings, joint efforts etc.. and plan doing more
in the comming weeks. All this makes us very reluctant to enter an ICANN
controled mailing list, ICANN controled dumb (if you refer to the DNSO
experience) structures and concepts. We know why we do not want them
and who is pulling the triggers. Even Andy M-M's own parallel list for
European non ICANN related issues has difficulties to start.

In a nutshell we feel we won the day and we do not want to lose it.

Your proposition is certainly a good one. But experience shown that
ICANN did not want to do that during the elections imposing separations
between areas (just remember that such a list would be 150.000 people
wide). Also, remember that the ICANN @large list is probably the survival
of the ICANN. If they keep motivating these self nominated interested
people for the ICANN, the ICANN will survive. If these people become
fed up with the ICANN, the ICANN will not last, as a lot of internet
decision makers are among these 150.000 people.

They certainly do not want also that the competing INEGroup 112k
members invade them, not even a single one :-).
