<P>Dominik and all,</P>
<P>&nbsp; I have no objections to your suggestions, only concerns as to with 
extremely</P>
<P>limited posting limits, how such can be achieved with any reasonable 
sense</P>
<P>of accuracy or completeness.&nbsp; Unless or until that limiting censorship 
factor</P>
<P>is changed within the GA, most, if not all, meaningful and comprehensive</P>
<P>work is not feasable.&nbsp; However as I have long ago now said, I believe 
that</P>
<P>this is what Debbie and Mr. Dierker intended, which hamstrings the GA</P>
<P>and as such, relegates it to near obscurity or irrelevance.</P>
<P>&nbsp; Good public discourse, like any other form of person to person or</P>
<P>person to public communication is never censored in such a way,</P>
<P>not even C-Span does such.&nbsp; But the GA [ Eric and Debbie] does!&nbsp; 
&gt;:(</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; Thankfully none of our mailing lists have such draconian 
nonsensical</P>
<P>Censorship provisions, nor did the FCC impose such on P2P traffic when</P>
<P>the RIAA's complaint regarding such&nbsp;was strongly and unanomously 
denied.</P>
<P>But the GA does! &gt;:(&nbsp; Frankly such censorship reminds me of 
"Extrodinary</P>
<P>Rendition", you may not know what that is Dominik, but Mr. Dierker surely</P>
<P>does.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; So in summation and seemingly as usual, any of our members that</P>
<P>engage in Tasting activities, warehousing of domain Names, or Domain</P>
<P>Name speculation on a large scale, shall have their membership revoked</P>
<P>until they have renounced to ever engage in those activities via a signed</P>
<P>and notarized affidavit.&nbsp; Same is true for Censorship [ other than self 
censorship],</P>
<P>infringing in any way of personal privacy, engaging in the trafficing of 
child</P>
<P>pornography on the Internet or elsewhere, engaging in cybersquatting, 
typosquatting,</P>
<P>phishing, IP address hijacking&nbsp;or other defined forms of same, and/or 
any&nbsp;other forms </P>
<P>of Internet scams.&nbsp; Further, any or our members that fail to report 
such activities</P>
<P>to a proper&nbsp;legal authority shall also have their membership revoked or 
temporary</P>
<P>suspended pending further review.</P>
<P>&nbsp; I personally have a 0 ZERO tolorence policy for nonsense, and always 
have.</P>

nonsense!"</P>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=373584207-01042008><FONT size=2>I 
understand your point here. Four&nbsp;votes for&nbsp;the motion gained so far 
can hardly be considered a GA support. But the motion is based on the public 
voice expressing its desire to eliminate AGP&nbsp;as demonstrated 
in&nbsp;the&nbsp;last GNSO&nbsp;survey and not on&nbsp;a majority of GA votes; 
so the power and the legitimacy&nbsp;of the motion is&nbsp;derived from the 
results of official survey.&nbsp;For me the GA, in its current status,&nbsp;is 
still a mailing list with all known limitations.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=373584207-01042008><FONT size=2>However, it 
is a nice idea to get the GA community more operable. Regardless of whether the 
results will be accepted by the staff or not.&nbsp;Simply to find out whether 
the GA is a group of people not only bringing&nbsp;interesting and/or 
valuable&nbsp;thoughts and ideas, but&nbsp;also a body capable of acting 
accordingly.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=373584207-01042008><FONT size=2>Our last 
attempt to build this up failed. Maybe we could&nbsp;give it&nbsp;another 
chance and start with the domain tasting issue. I think, however, this motion 
cannot be enforced by just establishing some organizational rules but it should 
be a natural process of gradual acceptation of the potential power 
of&nbsp;group of people with the same or similar attitudes and goals. That is, 
a process accepted by the GA members themselves. I have no idea whether such a 
support exists currently, and I do not insist on it. I am all for it but cannot 
speak for anyone else.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=373584207-01042008><FONT size=2>I, 
therefore, would continue working on domain tasting here. Everyone interested 
in it can join and work together. I have some ideas how to improve the work; 
e.g. I would like to use a special notation in subject clearly distinguishing 
issue-oriented contributions from other posts;&nbsp;some

<P>Mr. Dierker and all,</P>
<P>&nbsp; My position on the questionably ligitimate "List Rules" is well known

<P><FONT face=Geneva size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; It seems very clear that Dominik's motion is resoundingly carried 
by</P>
<P>the majority of the actively participating GA members.&nbsp; However as</P>
<P>the GA does not have any formal voting process that it should have</P>
<P>there will always be a question as to weather or not Dominiks motion</P>
<P>is the will of the GA members.&nbsp; Here inlies, and has always been the</P>
<P>GA's biggest detrament and partly why as Ross indicated, the GA is</P>
<P>unfortunately largely discounted if not ignored.&nbsp; A sad commentary

<DIV>The list has run along very smoothly for several months. The main reason 
is voluntary compliance with the rules. Once this concept breaks down so does 
the list. We are not talking about individual one time lapses. For constant 
repeat violations we must stand strong and enforce the rules.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Geneva size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>We are at a point for the first time in months, that the list is 
coalescing into the form of producing a statement/motion. The AGP issue seems 
to have come to a head and more formal resolution procedures may be 
appropriate. I believe it is at a motion stage with 4 seconds. If the desire is 
to move forward in a constructive effective matter, we should hear that from 
the members.</DIV>
