  Well hardly multiplying Joop.  And I don't think anything was
omitted either...

  I think the stain of ICANNATLARGE.COM was something that
ICANN didn't want and won't want in the future either.  Similar
to the IDNO, if you recall...

  Well you were warned about that some weeks ago.  *Pledges*
are fine, but $$ are real.  Without an account and the proper
legal filings *Pledges* are almost worthless, and ICANNATLARGE.COM
doesn't have either of those basic tasks even started as far can be
seen or known...  Yet the offer of help has been offered to get those
tasks complete.  Again shades of the IDNO all over again... :(
