Vinton and all assembly members,

Assembly members hope that incidents or repetition such as
this one that Todd properly again revisited here, will also prompt

12 step program similar to AAA would be in order here.
However as some here are well aware, many drunks
fall off the wagon several times before becoming reformed.
Hence the ICANN reform effort needs to also address
the personalities aspect as well.  Sadly it does not...
