Re: [ga] Consensus Policy Process

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Jeff and all assembly members,

  This sounds great.  However your comments and statements below
miss the mark a bit.  That being that any such recommendations, must
be developed with the participation of andy and all of the participating
stakeholders/users.  Presently that is not being done or allowed to be
done.  As such, any such recommendations stand a greater chance
of further degrading the creditability of ICANN and are in consistent
with the White Paper and MoU...
