  The fact that Thomas feels he cannot or will not work with anyone
says allot about his character.  Enough said.  I see not reason
why anyone cannot or would not work with you.  I can see that some
might find if difficult.  I do for instance at times.  >;)

  These problems were caused and remain problems because of the
less that adequate provisions or overly noncompetitive nature
of of the Registrar accreditation contracts that the ICANN BoD
voted in favor of via Joe Sims and Louis Touton drafted and the
ICANN BOD and staff refused to allow for the stakeholders
to approve via a vote or negotiate certain aspects of to improve
them (See DNSO GA Archives).  We [INEGroup]  and a number
 or others warned of these contracts looming huge later at that
time.  Perhaps later has now arrived.

  Frustration is only part of the problem.  As you know or I believe
understand,
the cost of this to the overall economy in the mid term and likely over
the long term has been huge and in the latter be even larger yet.  That's
a bit more than just frustration.  In fact it is these problems that have
fueled and will continue to fuel registry and registrar competition outside
of the legacy/USG root structure.  One can of course argue whether
this is good of bad overall.

  Poor procedures maybe.  Faulty, no.

  Indignation is only one aspect.  More important is the lack, to the
extent it exists on a user to user basis, is the service or lack there of
perceived by the user.

  The ISP community will yet again, and it has started already, being
reborn and/or growing.  This burgeoning event will address some of these
concerns in time.

  Tolerance does not seem to be Thomas's strong suit.  As such I would
not and do not myself concern myself with his personal problem.
