Nobody was railroaded out. There was a short period when some hot-tempers
caused a few short-lived changes to the mail list. All members of the
IDNO are welcome on its mailing lists. But one should also not forget,
that like any other organization, the members are free to set the
membership criteria, just as all the other constituencies of the DNSO have
done.
By-the-way, what is wrong with a group that has questions about ICANN? Is
it the case that all you want in ICANN are sychophants and yes-sayers?
It is amazing to see all the petty complaints being made about the IDNO
voting system.
It works. It has not been abused. And it is inexpensive to operate.
And given the size of our ICANN and DNSO groups, perhaps it is sufficient
for ICANN's needs.
It is surprising at all the vehemance that is being brought down on the
only working voting system in all of the land of ICANN.
The IDNO voting system is a first step. And it is a good step.
One may as well say that a child is a failure because on its first day of
walking it can't run and win a 100 meter race.
