well mah goodness, what a pleasure to see brother dave. when ICANN does this sort of foolishness i merely take a mirror up to it face and invite it to gaze at its pompous reflection. I am getting tired of pissing into the wind against these people and the last three weeks have been uneventful enough that i am about to publish an issue with nothing about the ICANNite clowns. Helping versus hurting? Well tell me If I am the head of a large or even a small ISP trying to keep my business up to internet speed, should I give money to ICANN? Why.....so it can emesh my business in a bureaucracy that only the EC and the ITU could love? If Steve Case wants to run for the ISOC Board so he can become and angel paying for ISOC/ICANNite global internet administration let him. maybe with his backing ISOC will have finally enough funds to deliver an election ballot to each of its uraguayan members? That's all we need is to have an AOL view of the internet ascendent. :-( IF ICANN would rather have a PR circus at the national press club than open its processes to outside scrutiny, so be it. It's what you wood expect of any good astro turff campaign Send me back a well constructed screed. I haven't been crockerized in so long.... >A propos your Subject line, Gordon, is there some reason you only comment >on minor aspects of form and not serious issues of content? > >Have you considered just how little constructive contribution YOU are >making?
