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

Jamie and all,

  Bob should have been subscribed to the ICANN Announce list.
If he or andy of the other GAC members were they would and should
not have been surprised at the Blueprint from ICANN as it was
posted to the ICANN announce list on June 20th.  Predecessor
documents were posted starting on May 6th...
