Re: [ga] MOTION: Request for a GA resolution on an IDN holders' c onstituency (IC)

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

Leah and all assembly members,

  I have to agree wit Leah as do our [INEGroup] members.  And repeatedly
attempts have been made for and IC or IDNO to become a constituency
yet the ICANN BoD has refused to recognize such self forming constituency
to be recognized or otherwise formulated.

  In similar fashion the @large has been postponed due to a questionable
need of endless "Studies" to be done in order for such a  body within ICANN
to be recognized.  All the while of course the ICANN BoD has been
making policy in their names as if these stakeholders support such policies.
SOme would refer to such a situation as misrepresentation, I call it what it
really is, Fraud.  Yet using such a term (Fard) seems to engender very
spirited debate and constant back biting that never concludes (or has yet to)
in a resolution.  And again the ICANN BoD continues to claim they represent
these interests even though they have no voice or valid vote.  As such, it would
seem reasonable that such a situation is inconceivable to the extent of
bordering on the insane.
