[ga] Due Process

Dear Mr. Chairman,
You have built a logical trap.
Either there is a conflict and my appeals have merit or there is not
one and your failure to recant this position speaks miles to the process.
Either there are flaws in our rules which we should address and my appeals
based on those grounds are valid or my appeals lack merit because the process
is fine and we do not need to fix it.
Some would call it subsequent remedial repairs, it proves that there
were problems to begin with, which caused a problem which had to be fixed.
Now I ask why should anyone work to fix the rules providing due process
when our chair says they are just fine and not cause for serious review.
You see you cannot claim that you are trying to fix things and then
turn around and say they were and are just fine. Which view do we send
of to the DoC and any other interested party.
Obviously I have nothing further to contribute because everything is
just fine. And contributions can only take the form of praise.
Most Sincerely, "Bottoms Up!"

On March 22, the Top Level Domain
Association was formed (www.tlda.org).
Preliminary participants in this
association include six members of the
Voting Registry of the GA:
Patrick Corliss - Director
Leah Gallegos - Director
Miles Eugene Marsh - Chairman
of the Board
John Palmer - Secretary
Bruce James - Initial Advisory
Committee member
Prof. A. Michael Froomkin - Initial
Advisory Committee member
A member of the Names Council,
Milton Mueller, is similarly listed as an
Initial Advisory Committee member,
and assuredly other GA members will soon
declare themselves as participants
in the TLDA efforts.
The mission statement of this association
represents that it is a:
"trade association of Internet
Top Level Domain (TLD) holders. This
organization represents the interests
of TLD Holders and will seek to foster
cooperation among TLD holders
to advance the cause of building a stable,
collision free namespace. All
TLD holders are welcome to become members of
the TLDA."
While I loudly applaud the efforts
of the alternate root community to seek
out efforts to eliminate collisions
in their own namespace, I find myself
deeply troubled by the fact that
none of these members that routinely
participate on the GA list have
commented on this development in the midst
of this GA election cycle.
What has happened to the concept
of openness and transparency by which we
are expected to abide?
The Bylaws of our Corporation point to the need
for full disclosure of "conflicts
of interest" by members of our Board; can
we expect anything less from candidates
to the highest office of the GA?
Up until a few days ago, I was
fully prepared to endorse Patrick Corliss for
the Chairmanship of this Assembly.
These recent events have made me
reconsider my position.
I respect Patrick's efforts to work in his own way
towards achieving the goal of
a stable Internet; I still believe that
Patrick is a pioneer and visionary
with a heart of gold and a passion for
safeguarding the rights of Individuals.
But I cannot approve of his decision
to both accept a position as a Director
of the TLDA, and to simultaneously
run for the office of Chair of this
General Assembly.
I look forward to working with
Patrick, and with the many of you that
respect the fact that the worldwide
Internet community includes the
alternate root system - but I
believe that in this instance, Patrick made an
error in judgement... one cannot
effectively serve two such disparate
masters.
Best regards,
Danny Younger
