Re: [ga] ICANN Meetups

[k@widgital.com (Kristy McKee)]

Jeff,

I think enough people have "forgotten" about ICANN or are no longer willing 
to "waste their time" on this venture for ICANN to permit participation at 
this small level, especially now that the At-large has no 
vote/power/representation.

I hope every day for Karl Auerbach's success wrangling this problem and 
that our current representatives can not be removed from the board under 
any circumstance other than an election of the same magnitude by which they 
were elected and with the same powers and privileges afforded to them.
