Re: [ga] request for details about ALAC members

Dear Don,
No reason to call Roberto a crook. Or ICANN either.

They are lost in the middle of somethng they do not control and they were told by the US law to control it. Not in so plain words - what would have made the thing easier - but by common understanding and practice.

Their only way out rigth now (like GWB) "is to be a crook". To make believe theycann. To go to Iraq. Their next way out will be to call for coperation, like GWB calling on UN's help in Iraq.

That day, our best interest will be that some of them are still oround (it will be shock for them and they will fly away - the first one was Joe Sims - the smartest among thm).

Why do you persist in spending your time about this charade, when you
and the rest of us, fully recognize it as a shame?  That was a question
and not a criticism . . . .

You can't talk convincingly to a crook about the merits of being law
abiding - they shake their head, but it doesn't compute.  So, when you
recognize it for what it really is, I think it is time to shut up and
move on.  Don't you agree?

We can't make a difference by debating the crooks.  They have
different rules.  What we need to do is to enlist the legislature and
it takes every one of us to do that - we all need to make ICANN a
political football which the legislature must handle for political
reasons.

Otherwise, we are engaged in mental mastur* (sorry ladies), but that
is the reality of it.  There needs to be a focused and pointed action
toward the legislature, in order to get it changed for the better.
That's the reality of it, as I now see it.  I'm not very fond of wheel
spinning . . .

Thanks,
