Re: [ga] GA list

[Joe Baptista <baptista@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All the GA is right now is a communications channel labeled " GA 
<ga@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ".   Your concerns with respect to impaired 
functionality of the GA can be fixed by taking over the technical 
functions for this label to an approved domain - owned and operated by 
the GA.  Being those stakeholders capable of voting within that label.
That would provide the GA with technical independence which is now 
dependent on the wims of ICANN - who ultimately controls this 
communication medium nd is responsible for the technical control of this 
communications channel of ours.  Now that we have rules - let us stand 
up and consider independence.
just a thought ;)
