Neither were rules that stated that resolutions made in f2f wasn't 
representative of the entire NCDNHC.
So, the NCDNHC resolutions made in Santiago were sent to the DNSO and to 
the ICANN Board as NCDNHC resolutions.  And also it can be found
in the Real Audio archives of the ICANN meeting at Santiago.

You are not agree, and I respect your opinion.  However, you didn't 
expressed any opinion
about this situation after ICANN meeting in August 1999, as far as I remember.

But it was presented as in behalf of the recently aprooved NCDNHC.

Ok...thanks for the correction.  I was wrong about the date that David 
Wasley joined.
However, he also didn't complained about the resolutions made in behalf of 
the NCDNHC at Santiago after
Santiago meeting.

But there wasn't any rule about this issue.  All NCDNHC members present at 
Santiago
though that was proceeding in the right way when resolutions made at 
Santiago were presented as NCDNHC resolutions.
If now, this is not the right way to do thing, this is now...in that time, 
this was rigth to do it.

But in Santiago meeting, this was our first steps as NCDNHC, and, as far as 
I know no one complained about the issue of representativeness
and the membership at that time was very happy of the rol that NCDNHC Names 
Council representative made in such meeting, and the rol that played 
attendees in general.

but when there was some members of the GA that doubted of what someone here 
said and never took the job to verify the information, what it means?
This people neither asked to any NCDNHC Names Council representative at 
that time about such resolution, neither ask to those who we was at 
Santiago, and after they judged without having any proofs...awfull.

And, by the way.  NCDNHC at Santiago meeting presented to the DNSO and 
ICANN Board several other resolutions, specially regarding UDRP.
Please, don't disenfranchise the hard work NCDNHC made in Santiago neither 
the key rol that played our Names Council members and members present at 
Santiago meeting.
