Re: [ga] Re: BC delegates

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

Mike and all former DNSO GA members,

  As I recall, the SBA while you were at the helm of ICANN as it's
CEO, did not find your leadership very appealing nor considerate
of small business interests in the Internet and ecommerce.

  Hence it strikes me now, as it did than Mike, that such comments
or postulations as to your qualifications are less than adequate
to say the least.

  Your "Selection" is a travesty. I would bet beans to dollars that
if these positions were elected positions by the stakeholders
you would not be elected.
