Re: [ga] Complaint

Dear GA full list members:

Please reference:
Link to the submission of the FINAL report of the WG-Review to BoD;

Please reference:
Cover letter for Final report

Please reference:
Last page of WG-Review archives 
http://www.dnso.org/wgroups/wg-review/Arc02/mail56.html

Work by the WG-Review members continued on through April 18 until we
were cut off from access to the list.  We have since migrated the
community of active members (all those wishing to continue to keep the
community spirit and efforts alive, to a new mailing list located outside
of the official parameters which have been so restrictive.

We, and especially the Chair, Sortiris (and many others including Joanna
Lane and Rod Dixon to name only two), put a lot of energy and effort into
addressing exactly the issues the GA Chair has raised.  Many of the
members of the formerly sanctioned WG-Review should like to know that our
efforts did not go un-noticed or under-appreciated.  At minimum, if
a new round of efforts are to be made regarding the issues (a primary
focus of the report referenced above was the establishment of a new
constituency for individual name holders) the report submitted to the
Board should be the starting point and due credit to the members involved
should be acknowledged.  

I fear the effect of the efforts made in the WG-Review, add by the GA in
general on a daily basis, is to use-up the energies of interested parties
so that they are no longer interested or able to continue to participate
in a virtual banging-one's-head-against-a-brick-wall sort of
experience.  Status quo preserved!  

I do hope all new efforts bear sweet fruit, but personally I see NO HOPE
of the DNSO or any other sub-group within ICANN to be fixable from within
and certainly not by the disenfranchised, unwashed masses like us. 

Sincerely,
Brian Appleby
