Esther, Jay and all,
As has been noted by literly scores of stakeholders to date, and are a matter
of record in your own ICANN archives, many are of the opinion that the

quite concerning manner, most especially in respect to the decisions
taken in Singapore made unilaterly or without the approval of the Stakeholders
themselves as is required in the White Paper....
