Re: [ga] Al Barakaat Prefers US Domain Registrar...- On the Terroist front!

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

John and all assembly members,

  Thank you John for passing this on to all of us.

  To answer your question below:  Indeed it is puzzling as to the
interest level of the ICANN BoD and staff for doing their part to
protect the Stakeholder community from terrorists or the "Front
Companies" from their activities vailed in a legitimate looking
business.  I am hoping that some day the ICANN BoD and
staff will get off their collective asses and get busy on this front
ASAP.   But I have my doubts.
