Re: [ga] [fwd] Steering Group for icannatlarge.com. (from:roessler@does-not-exist.org)

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

Major snippage below.

Joop it is time to stop letting the tail (ICANN BOD & STAFF) wag the dog
(Internet Users)
If this is to be a bottom - up group then we call the shots.
Accra don't mean diddly!  Formation of a user based open and transparent, bottom
up Internationally fair voting group means global Internet representation in
it's highest form.  No one meeting in Accra can kill that.

Stay the course and follow your words below.  Be accessible and accommodating to
the will of the people.
You have done a great Job of putting the site in place.  Now listen to the
comments and make adjustments as needed to meet the obviously legitimate
concerns.

Remember no good deed goes unpunished.

Sincerely,
Eric
