All,

I find it disturbing that Joanna Lane was encouraged to go ahead and
create a rogue mailing list by the current Chair of the GA, particularly
as she made use of a DNSO mailing list to sign the Members of the WG
Review up for a yahoo list which has nothing to do with the DNSO per
se.  Pease consider the following message which was originally forwarded
to Jefsey Morfin, Kendall Dawson, and myself, by Joanna on April 21
*without* any PRIVATE/OFFLIST/CONFIDENTIAL notice:

With all due respect, Mr. Chair, what's all this about a GA website
outside ICANN?

(for those of you who were unwittingly subscribed to the yahoogroups
list entitled "DNSO Work Group Review" as listed at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wg-review ,  I urge you to compare the
message quoted above with the message apparently posted by Joanna Lane
in response to Rod Dixon's questions about whether or not the list had
been sanctioned by the NC)

Regards,

Sotiris Sotiropoulos
