Amadeau and all,
Thank you for this interesting and important piece of information
regarding DNSO.ORG's time table. It is appreciated.
I might again point out however so misleading and inaccurate statements
which Amadeau and we suppose, the DNSO.ORG's leadership is making
in this posting.
1.) This DNSO.ORG proposal draft was by no means arrived at in
an open and transparent manner given the already exposed
problem with CLOSED mailing lists where these proposals
were developed, namely the "Participants List" which can be
found at http://www.dnso.org/docs/mailinglists.html. As has been
already reported several people that did NOT attend the Barcelona
nor the Monterrey meetings were added by the ITU representative,
Mr. Robert Shaw. Yet others that made subsequent requests
in discussing the particulars of a potential Draft bylaws for DNSO.ORG
have YET to be included or allowed on that list. This is in direct
conflict
therefore to Amadeau's statement below.
2.) In addition Amadeau states that the DNSO.ORG is actively seeking
additional "other relevant parties" (See below). We also find this
statement to be somewhat invalid and at least misleading and
disingenuous, for the same reasons as I stated above in #1.
And again this being the case, and well documented, we find
that such a preposterous statement should be viewed accordingly.
3.) And finally, we would suggest and add, that if the INTA's draft be
posted on the DNSO.ORG site that any other draft of modifications
to both the INTA and the DNSO.ORG December 16th "Draft-7"
also be posted so as to, at least attempt to REALLY meet
the now false claim of Transparency and openness, as those
drafts or modifications become available. And that any discussions
by all be cross posted to the relevant other lists so as to provide
smooth and aid in insuring broad availability to those comments,
suggestions, proposed drafts, and modifications to existing
Drafts...
