Leah and all assembly members,

  Leah and all other US DNSO GA assembly members or coalition
country DNSO GA members you can file your concerns with the

appointed Homeland Security Secretary has ask it is up to each
and every one of us to do our part to keep these sorts of suspected
web sited in check and report them to the proper authorities.

  I had only wished that the ICANN BoD and staff would have been out front
on this....  :(
