Re: [ga] At-Large Resolution

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Danny and all former DNSO GA members or other interested
stakeholders/users,

  Danny, where have you been?!  ICANN has always sense it's conception
been a "Fairy Tail"...  I thought you were well aware of this...  I
guess I
was mistaken...

  The alternitives as you put it are also not very good either.  They
mainly
consist of DOC/NTIA itself, which we all know is not workable for a
number of already well stated reasons, the FCC or FTC which again would
also not work for many of the same reasons DOC/NTIA would not, the
WTO, which I can't honestly imagine any american would except, the
ALSC which is a farce and wholly owned by ICANN anyway, or some
other UN organization which would not be well excepted in many
quarters..
