I disagree. As long as the participants conduct themselves civilly, as
they have done in the past, the hats will only serve to contrast the
message.
I understand your fear of hats. If we imagine the chairman of the GAC
open meeting confronted by a sea of funny hats, it would be the worst
terror any civil servant can face. I gurantee you that if that was the
case - toonies prverbials would be cooked ;-), and so would ICANN's.
The solution to this protest would be that ICANN listen to the protestors.
Please understand - our own position in this not as a protesting entity,
but a helpful hand in resolving contraversy.
