Ed,
It appears that you have misunderstood. I am not talking about subscribers
to the dnso-ip list, to which my message was copied.
If that were the case, you would be right.
Please read again the opening lines of my message.
I am talking on behalf of the people whose have sent me messages of support
and who have specifically stated :
"I support a constituency with no other "admission" criteria than the
administrative control (ownership) of a Domain name."
or who have said
"I want to join the Cyberspace Association".
They have not joined a listserver, we are going to have one shortly.
Listmembers will be asked to express support for the principles that can be
found on the website. That way, there will be no abuse of trust.
I have, by necessity, communicated with them by means of cc. As openly as I
could, under the circumstances.
In the spirit of opennes I just wanted to give you all a progress report.
I think the rest of what you wrote would not have been written if you had
read more carefully.
Cheers, and please lend your support to an Individual DN owners' constituency.
There is definitely room for those who accept 8 constituencies in the DNSO
, one of which will be the Individual DN owners'. :-)

the Cyberspace Association,
