[ga] Re: Reconsideration
Title: Re: Reconsideration Dear Danny:
Since sending the note below, there have been several postings
suggesting that I need to look further into this matter. Mr. Smith --
in the direct style he normally uses when writing to ICANN staff --
helpfully provided a previously missing detail by forwarding a copy of
the reconsideration request he submitted by email on May 20,
2000.
With this specific information, I have looked further into the
matter, and indeed have unearthed a copy of Mr. Smith's email in
someone's mailbox,, but not filed where reconsideration requests are
normally filed. To follow up further, I need to speak with a staff
member who is on vacation and out of e-range, and will not be back for
another 10 days. Until then, there is nothing I can do. Without his
input, I cannot determine the ultimate disposition of this
particular request and whether the email was somehow lost in the
process.
However, as mentioned in my earlier note, one of the two known
(to us) reconsideration requests from Mr. Smith was certainly
processed, as well as a request from Mr. Smith to reconsider that
denied reconsideration request. This was also denied. A further
reconsideration request to reconsider the denied reconsideration of
the denied reconsideration was not pursued since the Reconsideration
Committee had already expressed its recommendation and the Board made
a decision.
I will get back to you and the list as soon a I can follow up
with the vacationing staff member.

Mr. Smith has indeed sought reconsideration on just one occasion,
and his complaint was carefully considered by the Reconsideration
Committee and the ICANN Board. The committee's recommendation
can be viewed at <http://www.icann.org/committees/reconsideration/rc00-1.htm>.
I think a review of that document. A response to Mr. Smith's
attempt to reargue the matter appears at <http://www.icann.org/committees/reconsideration/committee-response-24apr00.htm>. A fair review of those documents
shows that Mr. Smith's allegation is not supported by the facts.

Dear Mr. Lynn, I have filed these in the past. In some cases the answers were not responsive to the complaints. In other cases ICANN refused to answer or post the submission. I resubmitted some but they refuse to acknowledge or answer the submission. The reconsideration system is a complete sham. Russ Smith --
