Re: [At-Large] [NA-Discuss] GNSO reform and ALAC

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Danny and all,

  I agree fully.  Further the document that was attached
is in a format that is conducive to transmitting malware
and spyware.  And further still, it largely does not 
reflect the actual Internet community where users are 
by far the largest segment, yet have no predominant or for
that matter ANY direct voice, and no vote on issues or process.  

  Whomever drafted this document is demonstrating clearly
a lack of experience, knowledge, knowledge in history of the
formation of ICANN, the principals of the MOU, and a decided
incoherence of the current reality of policy determination
and subsequent implementation as well as oversight and compliance
of same and existing policy which has been repeatedly abused
by registries and registrars predominantly at the expense of
users and registrants alike.
