  Agreed but Dannys rewording the motion was a very good idea.  I hope
that Roeland is not offended in any way and the he is not characterized
in Dannys rewording inappropriately.  I am sure Roeland will speak up
if he feels that he has been.

  What Danny rewording does and nicely so, is provide a very well
done motion that we all can review, suggest rewording to, and eventually
vote upon when complete.  That is a good and honest method of approach
that benefits all of the assembly members.

  Respectfully I disagree.  Lacking allowance from the ICANN BoD
for new self forming constituencies as the ICANN Bylaws provides
for, and the fact that the GA is a "Catch all" for those that don't
fin into the existing constituencies, or may fit several constituencies,
and therefor best fit into the GA.

  Agreed.  But as you know the ICANN BoD has not allowed for this to happen
in any timely or reasonable manner.
