  Some, not many Danny...  Lets try to be honest at least, ok?  >;)
As you know than, most are not satisfied, including most of the list
that Joanna posted with and "After the Fact" survey participation
and review.  And SOME have stated so publicly such as the ACLU,
as just one example.  Another would be the COE, and you likely are aware
of as their privacy LAW and policy has been posted to this and the
ga-sys list on at least three occasions.  Hence, again my question to you...
What you provide here is NOT and answer but rather a seemingly
attempt to do some damage control.  I applaud you effort here
none the less.  Good spin..  >;)

 Yes I am very well aware of this Danny.  But thank you again for the
redundant information review anyway...  >;)

  All true and I am aware of them very well thank you...  >;)

  Some have.  Others look to me to speak for them as I am their spokesman.
I have posted to the ICANN BoD on a number of occasions beginning in
1998 see archives of the comments@icann.org ML for further reference.

  I didn't say that I did.  You seem to be a bit defensive here Danny.  No
need to be is there?  Hope not.  >;)  But thank you for the "Tell" anyway.  >;)
