RE: [gnso-idng] reporting back to the council

[Adrian Kinderis <adrian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Further, I find Edmon articulate and easy to understand (nto to mention 
friendly).

He has a point, he makes it. Succinctly and efficiently.

Eric, with your clear understanding and depth of vocabulary, all you do it 
provide overcomplicated reams of rubbish that I find hard to comprehend (but ZI 
guess that makes me an idiot).

Perhaps t he emphasis should not be on your level of understanding of the 
English language but on it's appropriate usage in order to convey a point.

How about a censure of Eric for being such a jackass?

Oh... did I say that out loud?!

Am happy to not be leading the conversation if someone is willing to take
that role (in fact, have had hoped someone would emerge to lead the
discussion) :-)
And, I apologize for my intermittent ability to contribute.
Nevertheless, I do continue to believe that the issue is important and worth
the time to discuss and complete.
The insistence to continue is out of that belief and not in any interest to
lengthen this unnecessarily.

Back to the discussion itself.
For our upcoming call, perhaps the agenda should be:
- consideration of report back to GNSO council
- next steps, if any, recommendations (e.g. dissolving and reconstitution of
a group)

Anything else we should include?

Edmon
