Re: [ga] Verification of Endorsement

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

Kristy and all remaining assembly members,

  ICANN and it's limited staff is a result of poor financial management
and poor judgment on the part of those ICANN Board members that
did the initial hiring.

  These obvious problems with their voting/nominating system for the
At-Large membership are a result of ignorance and incompetence
that does not inspire confidence in ICANN being able to handle
the DNS/ROOT Servers, IP Number protocol issues, and Protocol
issues on a technical level.  This program that ICANN has developed
for Voting/Nominating is several levels below these other important
areas of ICANN technical responsibility as they are mandated to do.
