I strongly object to the appointment of William Walsh in this position. He
advocates only American Registrar views, vehemently objecting to any
requests to consider the difficulties of non-US Registrars, and Registrants
in general. He sees no need to consider, let alone, comply with EU laws to
which EU Registrars and Registrants are subject and he advocates that ICANN
should refuse to do business with all foreign Registrars that will not
comply with American ways of doing business. We need a person who will fight
for removal of the bankrupcy clause from the Registrar transfer Agreement,
which is the most nonsensical, unworkeable clause as any I have ever seen in
any contract. We need somebody who represents the Registrants, not the
Registrars, and William is not that person.

Joanna
