no, since you are for the ISOC, ITU, European socialist model of the world
that is permissible.

ah yes Onno if one is so open minded as to let ones brains fall out one
might make such a surmise. On the otherhand if one observed the behavior
of ICANN and looked at the by laws one would see that the membership is
the only group that might hold ICANN accounatble. So what has ICANN
done...created a totally open membership group by means of which it can
stack the deck and vote in the head of every PTT in europe...to join hans
on the ICANN board.... yes onno I am more than a little disgusted with your
self serving diatribes.
