Re: [ga] Ignoring the public again? - An ICANN SOP...

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

Danny and all former DNSO GA members or other interested parties,

  As you know Danny, Phillip is really not completely responsible for
input and consultation with the public on such matters as New TLD's
to which you refer.  However he does have some amount of
responsibility to insist on such input and consultation be ongoing
and effected.  It is however the ICANN staff's and in particular with
the issue of new TLD's that or Stuart Lynn whom is supposedly
heading up this area presently.

  As we have repeatedly and unfortunately seen in our interaction and
participation with the ICANN DoD, Staff and that NC, reluctance
if not down right purposeful disenfranchisement from the ICANN
staff has been and still remains pervasive and deplorable...
