Re: [ga] President Younger's Independence Day Address to the World

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

Phillip and all assembly members,

   Judging from the "Subject" line of this post it would seem that you
are
a bit dismayed with Danny or Danny's earlier post to this the GA
Forum.  Indeed I responded to it myself with some concern as well.
Yet I am finding your sarcasm in this separate post/thread in response
a bit unnecessary and demeaning without cause.

True.  However it is quite evident that the DNSO GA is not being allowed

to fulfill it's rightful place in the decision making process from
within the
DNSO.  I believe that this was what Danny really was addressing...

  Yes but does the "NC's business Plan" align with the DNSO GA's
necessary
role?  Some here would think not...

  Why not structured for implementation?

  This is a good area for the GA to participate in.  As currently one of
the
nominee's I hope that the process will be open to any and all other
input
from whatever source is self identified as an "Interested Party"...  I
also
hope that this UDRP Task Force will be a implementation Task Force...

  As you may know, there has already been a good head start on
UDRP Questionnaire, questions being suggested on the sub list ga-udrp.
These should be very helpful and useful in the questionnaire for the
stakeholders to consider.  I have compiled I believe to be a complete
list of the thus far suggested questions.

  Rhetorical comment is often a good source of intake.  I hope that the
NC Intake Committee will view such input as such.

  Good!  Is there a reference URL where this can be reviewed by the GA
members?
