I am a volunteer root operator for Public Root. I have nothing to do INAIC.
INAIC is not in any way, shape or form "my organization". I have nothing
to do with them and have no authority at all. 

Mr. Baptista, in his usual fashion, is attempting to paint a picture to suit 
his 
agenda, but unfortunatly, his picture lacks any real factual basis.

The bylaws say nothing about our claim to be the authority. It states that we
are a trade organization of TLD holders and it gives our  OPINION and VIEWPOINT
about what direction we think the industry should take. Its our opinion and 
nothing 
else. Also, keep in mind that the byLaws are being completly re-written (by 
myself,
since no one else wants to do the work) - I assure you that the new byLaws will 
make it perfectly clear that we will make no such claim to be any authority.

Please see above. This will be the last reponse on the matter that I post and 
I'm sure all
list members here will be glad to hear that. I could not let Mr. Baptista's 
falsehoods go 
unanswered.
