Danny Younger about the DNSO:

>This is tyranny.

It is (of course) not.


In particular, the current DNSO structure (and the NC) still seems 
to have the (possibly limited) support of (most of?) the DNSO's 
constituencies, with the notable exception of the ccTLDs - anyway, 
the support is apparently sufficient to let the DNSO and NC kind of 
survive.


The DNSO may be inefficient as hell.  It may produce no results. And 
the DNSO establishment may currently mostly disregard the GA.  But 
still, the DNSO is not a "tyranny".


Danny and Patrick: I think it's an extremely unwise idea for the GA 
chairs to start attacking the Names Council and Secretariat in 
public - and in the form you elected to use in 
<029201c1040b$6e707660$b33efea9@hamza> and 
<2f.1757f8f8.2874ae60@cs.com>.  The NC's and Secretariat's decisions 
or activities may quite well be worth of criticism - but it's the 
GA's and the GA chairs' job to exercise this criticism in a 
responsible and constructive manner.

Being polemic is a privilege which ordinary list members may enjoy 
to a certain degree, but it's a privilege which chair and co-chair 
should not exercise as long as they are holding their respective 
offices.

Quid licet bovi non licet Jovi, for those of us who speak Latin, and 
still remember who Europa actually was. ;-)
