Jim, Dave and all,
We (INEGroup) too agree with Dave's suggestion. But do you really
believe that the ICANN "Initial" and Interim Board is going to comply?
We don't! We have already lost any respect and have no creditability
in Mike Roberts ( AKA Mike "the Robber Barron" Roberts" as he is
now referred to in our group) and Joe Simms (AKA Joe "The Slime" Simms
as he is known in our group).
