Re: [ga] Concerning the upcoming "rebid" vote

[eric@hi-tek.com]

Thank you Mr. Walsh for laying out the issue so clearly,

Funny thing that Bravery is, for without its' sister Fear it does not
exist.  One cannot be brave in the absence of fear.  (I know you think
this is all weird but listen)

The GA cannot exist without a self destruct mechanism and the willingness
of the members to use it.

Yes you are right a vote for a rebid is a self destruct vote.  But when
you know that your mere existence is being used to promote an evil and
unjust cause, don't you have a duty to self destruct.

I am not saying I buy into this as I see many potential alternatives where
a rebid makes things a little more in line with the green and white papers
and ICANNs' original promises (yes a contract is a promise).

Let us get behind a vote here William, dang, you and your kind might even
win the vote in opposition to a rebid, holy cow wouldn't that be
something! And if that happens you and I are both validated as doing
something important here.

A vote against a rebid would be great.  If that happened maybe we could
even get some donations to run the GA outreach.

Sincerely,
Eric
