Re: [ga] Roessler Comments on Mission Paper (fwd)
I gather I accidentally sent this to Mr. Sims alone rather than the whole
list. Sorry.

Subject: Re: [ga] Roessler Comments on Mission Paper
You've had Karl's, Randy Bush's, Mikki Barry's, and many others. I have
decided not to put one in. The personal animus against me is obviously so
great - see for example Stuart Lynn's comments in Thailand - that there
seems no chance they would be taken seriously, and every chance that it
would be counter-productive.
As evidence of how ICANN treats those who disagree with it, I note that
ICANN has not posted Karl's paper online, or linked to it, although it did
post many other less radical submissions to the review committee.
Furthermore, it's my belief that the committee appointed by ICANN is
packed with people who have a fairly closed mind on the subject. I think
the chance of a fair hearing there is low.
Plus, I understand you control the agenda for the upcoming secret,
no-minutes Board meeting (excuse me, 'retreat') this weekend in which you
will evangelize for your views.
In the circumstances, I will not be submitting a draft. I think I know
what you will decide, and unlike you I don't get paid several hundred
dollars per hour I spend on this.
PS. Do you bill for email too?
