Richard and all,
Well I don't believe that michael has "Pissed allot of people off" just
a few whining few (The WWW boy Willie the Whiner Walsh the most
vocal of them). On the other hand Don Heath has pissed allot of people
off, and has done so for a couple of years at lease, so has the the
ICANN Interim Board, as has been and still is quite evident. Given
this I am quite sure that Michael will have little trouble garnering
support. He has ours [INEGroup]. That is about 90k stakeholders.
I would say that that is slightly larger than the ISOC has....
None the less many admire Michaels style. He shows backbone
and conviction. This is and has always been a good leadership trait.
