Sorry, Joop, the TLDA members have raised as an issue that Bradley
Thornton's presentation was cut out from the agenda without notice.  If
true, I would argue
that is iniquitous.  I have no knowledge of the reason for it being cut.

You should be aware that Danny lost my support some time ago.

As far as Danny following proper process I would also remind you of the
following:

Hi Danny

Perhaps I should have read your wishy washy, doublespeak wording more
carefully.  You wrote:

The fact is that the DNSO Secretariat never had any intention of putting my
motion to a vote.  I doubt if you did either despite your misleading heading
"Motion Accepted".

If we can't even get an internal motion to a vote of the GA, what chance do
we have with something that has external implicatations.

So can we cut the crap and just write off the GA as a farce?

Best regards
Patrick
