Re: [ga] Concerning the upcoming "rebid" vote

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Eric and all assembly members,

  I fail to see that a rebid vote is a potential scenario for a self distruct
of the DNSO GA.  As a General Assembly of the DNSO which
is a Supporting organization under the ICANN corp. Umbrella
the rebid of the ICANN contracts (MoU and White Paper)
would not necessarily effect the DNSO or the DNSO GA
in such a manner.
