Re: [ga] Re: BC delegates

["J-F C. (Jefsey) Morfin" <jefsey@club-internet.fr>]

Dear Mike,
Happy to see you are still alive and surviving the ".edu" management. A 
real SME.
Happy new year too and the best to your non-profit corporations: is that my 
Frenchood, but I did not think they qualified as businesses.

But mostly, you may have heard that the ERC called for an SME consistency, 
a demand that I was probably the first to formulate rising questions from 
Philip and co. You may recall that I left the BC to join that constituency 
as the BC (TLDs, Telcos, Registrars, IP support organizations and may be a 
score of large businesses and two ICANN (former) employees as SME with huge 
unpaid debts) did not fit my understanding a real SME representation. All 
the more than the only improvement I saw while being there for two years 
was the suppression of the specific SME representation and specific wording 
in the by-laws.

If you are a true SME, why not to join us and work out an SME constituency. 
As per the ERC.
