Re: [ga] ICANN Board: Do you hear the people sing?

Rick and all former DNSO GA members,

  Your method is not legitimate:
See: "Identification

   In the com/net/org zones, domain registrants are the only entities
   that are authorized to update the domain information. Membership in
   the group covered by this document is thus defined as a domain name
   owner in com/net/org. A single domain represents a single
   registrant on a one-to-one basis. Although many registrants own
   more than one domain, attempting to develop normalization
   techniques to identify individual registrants are open to
   gaming. Because of this, domain ownership is equivalent to voter
   registration and each domain will be entitled to a single vote."

  No!  This [see above]  is unreasonable.  One registrant = one vote only!
