[ga] Pont of order

["Roeland M.J. Meyer" <rmeyer@mhsc.com>]

As a point of order, the ONLY responsible parties, in the DNSO.ORG are the
Names Council. The last time I checked, neither Harald nor Roberto are on
the NC. Someone please correct me if my info is out of date. There are no
by-laws, anywhere, that even provide for a GA chair, much less assign that
entity a seat on the NC. Evenso, even the NC has marginal responsibility
within ICANN, the ICANN BoD has made sure of that. The DNSO is a wholely
operated entity of the ICANN, who has prime responsibility. Ergo and at
best, Joe's bitch is with the NC if not the ICANN BoD (with the ICANN BoD
having primacy).

In short, Harald can not be held accountable nor answerable, even if he
wanted to be. If he was smarter, he'd duck and defer Joe to the ICANN BoD
and leave it at that.

The other issue is that you can't have it both ways; Harald is either
legitimate GA chairman, or he is just another nobody. You can't hold him
responsible for an office which you don't acknowlege. That is patently
unfair in ANY court of ANY jurisdiction (saving the Napoleanic ones, of
course). I am sure that Joe knows better, but just wants to cause his usual
disruption.

Granted, Harald and I have some policy disagreements, but let's at least
play fair (if not nice).
