I respect your opinions Mr. Stefferud. But there
is a time when mere opinionating is either a sign
of true weakness or an indication of at least
grudging support for that to which on is allegedly
in opposition against. And there is a time, usually
arising simultaneous to that, in which decisive
action is called upon us all. Merely griping about
ICANN is insufficient. I suggest moving our duffs
off of those comfortable intellectual divans of ours
and into some form of civilly disobedient activity
to reverse the course of events. Or kindly allow
others to do so and show them the decency of our
support, fund raising abilities, etc.
Towards this end... perhaps we should, as some have
been saying all along, set to forming our own NEWCO,
in our own image, regardless of what others attempt.
We utilize this list as the founding convention and
move, with speed, from there. What say you all? After
all, authority is a matter of general confidence and,
should we prove ourselves worthy, what more likely
successor to Postel than others who uphold the best
traditions and principles of not only the Net but also
our various cultures in combination and synthesis.
