Re: [ga] Intense individual constituency activity

[Eric Dierker <eric@HI-TEK.COM>]

Joop,

You and I will never agree on many issues but that is the nature of us.
But, no one can ever doubt your hard work and comittment to the cause.  Of all of the people that have kept ICANN from going completely into black ops it is you. (black ops are "fictional" operations of a clandestine nature that are not recorded or paid for officially). Wether your ultimate goal was reached or not the wonderful side effect has been to keep indviduals involved and passionate.

Now with that platitude aside and with all your wisdom would you please lay out the steps "I" would need to do at the Open board meeting, in Stockholm, to present a document and an argument to have this constituency NOW. As I think I have already confessed I amoung others would make lousy Chairs but we can fight for and "die" for a good cause.  Some of us may even be trained a little in the arts of persuasion.

Sincerely,

Bill, it is only thanks to great persistence on our part that we appear on
the ICANN website at all.

Joop: On that issue, truer words were never spoken.

Your subject line is misleading and a tad unfair.

If anyone took my sarcastic heading to suggest that your efforts were not
persistent, that would have been a misleading.  Although your material
appears there, the management of that page and what is going on is not
your doing -- it is a DNSO thing that was last updated in June, 1999.
If my wording were ambiguous enough to suggest you were in any way
lax, I certainly apologize and will re-express, in plain English (!), what I
intended to say (or ask): "How come nothing seems to have happened
on the "Additional Constituency Proposals" since June, 1999?"

("That page" being http://www.icann.org/dnso/additionalpage.htm.)
