  We agree wit Simon here, and always have.  In fact ICANN should
also be fully supportive as well.  Unfortunately sense November '00
they have not been.  And now are refusing to be.  This is unfortunate,
and sets a bad precedent for the internet DNS as well as is seemingly
purposeful disruptive to stability for the stakeholders.  A very sad
situation so far.  We [INEGroup] are hopeful and will continue to
engage wherever and when ever we can and to encourage the ICANN
BoD to correct this major mistake.
