This really is only one of the small points where the ICANN "Initial"
and Interim Board has continued to make the same mistake over and
over again. Even the average adult knows better than to make the
same mistake repeatedly. Hence this incident to which Gordon
referred to has been a repeating theme of arrogant and poor behavior
on the part of ICANN in similar types of incidents such as the
Boston meeting. Judging from others reports from the Singapore
meeting it is painfully obvious that this board in most instances
has shown a near total disregard for anyone except themselves..

Not just this one incident alone. The problem is the ICANN continually
is insulting, arrogant, disregarding, condescending, and is acting without
the consensus of the stakeholders in making decisions, such as those
made in Singapore. Given this, there is more than ample reason to
have this ICANN "Initial" and Interim board either step down voluntarily
or be ask to resign....

But how many times does Esther or any member of the ICANN
Interim board need to learn the same lesson?

Many people are arrogant form time to time. But when a group
or individual is in a position such as Esther Dyson or Mike Roberts
and continually of as a matter of habit is arrogant one should began to
question the fitness to serve...
