Isn't it about time the people on this list woke up to reality? Here
is what the ICANN bylaws say about "members" (@large and otherwise):

http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#II

"ARTICLE II: MEMBERSHIP

   Section 1. GENERAL

   The Corporation shall not have members as defined in the
California Nonprofit Public Benefit
   Corporation Law ("CNPBCL"), notwithstanding the use of the term
"Member" in these bylaws, in a
   selection plan adopted by Board resolution, or in any other
action of the Board. Instead, the Corporation
   shall allow individuals (described in these bylaws as "Members")
to participate in the activities of the
   Corporation as described in this Article II and in a selection
plan adopted by Board resolution, and only to
   the extent set forth in this Article II and in a selection plan
adopted by Board resolution."

There are, in effect, no members in Icann. The @large membership is
a hoax.

Learn what has been going on. Face the facts. Then you may have a
chance of doing something to correct the situation.

M.S.
