Thomas,

Just two simple questions:

1. Why did you discontinue to host www.democracy.org.nz which contains IDNO 
archives and pointers to the IDNO archives?

2. In your goodbye letter to the ICANN -Europe list that you also recently 
discontinued you mentioned several blogs and fora.

Why did you not mention icannatlarge and its webfora?

Your frustration stems from a feeling of having been conned?
Or from an inability to find support from the others who are "too long-time 
ICANN participants?

What will you consider  success?
In other words: what is the mission statement of the list-owner-without-hat
(beyond conducting an experiment)?
