Re: [ga] Melbourne and nominations

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

Joanna and all remaining assembly members,

  No privileged life at all for me, to be sure, Joanna.  Just hard work.
That and work smarter is what it sometimes takes...

  It is indeed terribly unfortunate that it now takes a significant amount
of $$ to participate in the "ICANN Experience" and keep the current
ICANN Board in line appropriately.  :(    As far as the participation
part goes, if ICANN could incorporate a reasonable "Remote Participation"
method, allot of this part of the problem would be eliminated altogether.
But that doesn't seem to be a high priority on the ICANN boards and staffs
priority list, and never has for some odd reason(s).
