Mike you still didn't answer a perfectly simple question that I asked you a
day ago and that is to cite your source....namely who in the US government
requested this, what their language was, and where their request was made
public.
Fact of the matter is you don't answer because you can't. more over the
constitution of the original board was also a sham. I am sure you thought
that Ira and becky would give you their blessing and that the US government
would early in october ask you to consitute your board. Didn't happen. So
you went ahead and did it anyway...on your own authority.
what i remembered just know was what one of the mighty five told me in a
phone call circa october 26th.
'we went ahead and made our own decision to constitute the board and choose
Dyuson as chair and Roberts as president because that was the only way that
we could make any forward progress.'
so ICANN gives itself authority and acts as a law unto itself??
Is that the answer mike?
