[ga] Re: [atlarge-discuss] icannatlarge.com meeting in Bucharest

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

Alex and all stakeholders of interested parties,

  Thank Alex for you perspective and/or characzation on the
current degrading situation with ICANNATLARGE.COM
and the remaining members of the Interim Steering
Panel of which three are at Bucharest attempting to
represent.

  Seems from our members present in Bucharest, and
others reporting in privately, that the situation with
these questionably legitimate Interim Steering
Panel attendees, is very similar to the IDNO
situation in the ICANN Santiago meeting.

  As you know, or should know, there is already
draft charter, which is all that is needed for actual
voting for representatives, that have met with the approval of the
ICANNATLARGE.COM members.
See: http://www.icannatlarge.com/charter.htm, Hence this
doesn't seem to be a real hindrance as you Alex, seem to
purport.
