I'm not interested in getting into a pissing contest so I'll state
my observations once and don't care to discuss it. I was in attendance
for the NC meeting, as was Esteher and John Klemsin. Ask them if
my observation is correct.
Michael Sondow had the first NC propoasl. The ISOC/Heath proopsal
was second and had 30 ISOC/IAHC friendly organizations as signatories.
The Mueller/ACM proposal was supposed to be a compromise.
I watched Sondow and Mueller make all sorts of compromises I
didn't see Heath make any. I talked to him about it and
was told "my constituents won't accept this". I asked how
he knew this without asking them or explaining the situation.
In the end the dispute was about one paraghraph - how to
elect the names council memebrs. Heath wanted the 30 orgs
he signed up to elect them, many other peple pointed out
one names council member from each of the 3 groups invoilved
in this seemed reasonable. Heath would not do this, hence
more than one NC proposal, hence no NC constituencey at
this time.
