Gary - we know how mucked up things are at ICANN. In fact I would go
further and user stronger words like fucked up. In fact the process has
become so buggered because ICANN is not what it promissed it would be -
open and transparent. ICANN is a joke - we know that and so do you.

It is - it also is fradulent elections sponsored by various executive
members of ICANN, having rules forced on us, the litany of horros goes on
and on. You can thank IBM for that. IBM needs the show to look real and
al wee can do as General Assembly participants is go along with the farce
- or oppose it at every turn of the ICANN road - I choose to show it for
what it is - a farce.

The peasants are rising up - with each fuckup this comes to the attention
of the masses. ICANN's survival depends on lies to survive, and lies
eventually don't work.

The best that you can do Gary is tell your friends and webmasters about
the idiocy and have them like us oppose the process.
