[ga] in response to a question about a letter regarding ICANN reform

["Cade,Marilyn S - LGA" <mcade@att.com>]

Joanna, couldn't get the link to resolve. But, I'd like to be responsive to your question.

I changed the subject because I don't agree with the interpretation conveyed by the former subject line. :-) It seemed better to have a more neutral subject line so that we can facilitate an open discussion about any questions. 

SO, I will note that if you are asking about a letter which includes the names of several companies and associations addressed to Sec. Donald Evans, DOC, regarding views on the Evolution and Reform process,  and has AT&T's name along with several companies, associations, etc. and it involved AT&T's view and position on ICANN issues, then I would be the appropriate contact. 

The letter from these groups was a joint collaboration by the parties who signed it.  So, many parties contributed to the concepts of the initial drafting, and edits to achieve a  final version which could reflect the views of such a wide group of parties.  

I'm interested though in your thought that is was strange not to have names of individuals. In my experience, it is not strange at all for organizations to lend their organizational names, since really, when it comes down to positions, they are the positions of a company, organization, or group, not just a private view of an individual employee of such a group.

So, even though some  of us might  have a private view, it is really the view of a business, or organization or association that gets conveyed in such a letter. 

Does that help? Let  me know if you have further questions. Marilyn

Marilyn,
Did you write this letter?. If not, do you know who did? It seems odd that
it is not signed by any individual.
