What about the General Assembly of the DNSO? You remember, the
"bottom-up", "consensus" community called on by the White Paper to
form ICANN and the DNSO? Are you admitting that that doesn't exist
any more? Did you destroy it by demoralizing everyone in it, by
censoring it, and by taking away any power it might have had,
through your manipulations of the bylaws, so that the DNSO charter
agreed upon in Singapore and Berlin no longer has any meaning?

Still pretending that you read comments? Are there still people out
there foolish enough to imagine that their comments will ever serve
any useful purpose?

You mean the community of Internet stakeholders who were supposed,
according to the White Paper, to make up the Board, the DNSO, and
its constitutencies, but now have to send their comments into a
black hole, where they will be ignored?

How about listing them according to whether or not Philip Sbarbaro
or another member of the NSI or ICANN teams is sitting on the
arbitration panel?
