Re: [ga] Auerbach vs. ICANN update

[Don Brown <donbrown_l@inetconcepts.net>]

The response from the defense counsel is to be expected. Even rapists
and murderers are entitled to a zealous legal defense under the US
form of government.

Although we may find that either the plaintiff's counsel or the
defense' counsel are creative, that's to be expected, too. Both
opposing law firms are just doing their jobs. We don't have to like
it, but that's just the way it is.

Personally, I'm on Karl's side.

I'm not a lawyer, but even if I was, suffice it to say that it will
either be the opposing counsels who work out a settlement or the
courts which adjudicate a resolution.  We may not like it either, but
we will never know all of the facts and what led up to the settlement
or resolution, either.

Face it.  Sometimes, the bad guys, in our eyes, win.  Although,
because we don't know all the fact and because we are not lawyers, our
eyes may not be 20-20, either.

This will shake out on its own and any noise we make about it on this
list will not serve any good purpose, in the final analysis.

We're on the sidelines.  I'm pulling for Karl, because I think he was
right in what he did -- provided his plaintiff's counsel wasn't too
creative with the petition.  Time will tell.

Thanks,
