Recently there has been a renewed push for an Individuals Constituency to operate within the ICANN/DNSO/NC structure. This push was reinforced by a recent vote withing the GA of the DNSO. What that means for those who do not normally put up with the bickering that surrounds internet politics, is that smaller internet people may start to get a voice! Like everything else funding has a big effect on how well things happen. To help raise those funds a public ballance account has been created (313216) What is now needed is to get people to use e-gold ;) Does anyone know of someway to get promotional material like e-gold buttons/stickers (preferably ones that are or can be customised with an acct#) fast? The GA meeting is about to happen in Stockholm http://www.icann.org/stockholm/ Since they are all an international bunch the idea of e-gold would probably get a good reception with most I note with interest that sponsors for the meeting are still needed ;) cya, Andrew... Flagrantly stolen message follows ------------- Sorry dude but you need to make buttons and stickers for us to wear in Stockholm. Yes you have to design them and order them and get them to us there is Stockholm. That my friend is the easy part, I have to make sure Vint is wearing one along with Karl and folk.
