<P>Dominik and all,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; Of course I totally agree with Dominik here.&nbsp; But than again Mr. 
Dierker</P>
<P>doesn't and hasn't for some time now.&nbsp; And again, in that he 
seemingly</P>
<P>has captured the GA forum to an extent, he and he alone with or</P>
<P>without the will or consensus of the GA members will decide.&nbsp; I can</P>
<P>only guess that such is some odd form of Selective Censorship or</P>
<P>some other draconian concept that I certainly am not aware of and</P>
<P>do not wish to become familier with.<BR><BR><BR></P>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=896333415-01042008><FONT size=2>I, 
personally, do not see a problem with&nbsp;abandoning&nbsp;the post&nbsp;limit. 
I understand that the GA&nbsp;has some specifics as regards natural 
self-regulation of its members that&nbsp;should perhaps be responsively 
moderated. But in case of real participation of our members on issues in a more 
organized way this&nbsp;might&nbsp;be necessary. Then I see a problem with 
distinguishing between relevant and non-relevant content. I think in most cases 
a warning should suffice but in general we&nbsp;could be&nbsp;able to&nbsp;put 
up with non-relevant or numerous posts&nbsp;as long as&nbsp;they&nbsp;are 
not&nbsp;occurring&nbsp;too often&nbsp;or are not flooding the space. Anyway, 
we can report&nbsp;it at any time it becomes apparent.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=606224814-01042008><FONT size=2>I have to 
say, this (the GA)&nbsp;is the first forum I have ever known to impose a limit 
on postings and I, personally,&nbsp;would much rather everyone had the 
opportunity of free speech whenever they desire it.&nbsp; However, if you look 
back in the archives you will see that there are a few people who find it 
necessary to go over the '5 posts a day' limit on a regular basis&nbsp;(I have 
in the past&nbsp;posted over the limit myself - prior to the list rules being 
adopted of course).&nbsp; In reviewing these mails I am not sure that they are 
always terribly constructive or conducive to&nbsp;a professional&nbsp;list 
being taken seriously by those we would hope to inform, impress 
and&nbsp;advise.&nbsp; Therefore, I feel that an increase in wholesale posting 
limits at this time may detract from any work we wish to conduct rather than 
enhance it.&nbsp; </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=606224814-01042008><FONT 
size=2></FONT></SPAN>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=606224814-01042008><FONT size=2>That said, 
in the light of the important discussions currently being held, if a few 
members were to propose the change from limited to no limit or even double 
limit&nbsp;on postings pertaining to a distinct subject line I would most 
likely support it - although members should be warned that wanton off topic or 
inflammatory emails would still incur sanctions as per our rules.&nbsp;

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=606224814-01042008><FONT size=2>Most people 
can manage to stop themselves clicking the send and receive button 20 times a 
day but there are those who cannot and this is why we need rules - these few 
people spoil it for the majority but, nevertheless, deserve the right of free 
speech; albeit somewhat limited in quantity.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=606224814-01042008><FONT size=2>I&nbsp;hope

<DIV></DIV>
<P>Dominik and all,</P>
<P>I have no objections to your suggestions, only concerns as to with 
extremely<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>limited posting limits, how such can be achieved 
with any reasonable sense<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>of accuracy or completeness.&nbsp; Unless or until 
that limiting censorship factor<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>is changed within the GA, most, if not all, 
meaningful and comprehensive<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>work is not feasable.&nbsp; However as I have long 
ago now said, I believe that<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>this is what Debbie and Mr. Dierker intended, which 
hamstrings the GA<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>and as such, relegates it to near obscurity or 
irrelevance.<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>Good public discourse, like any other form of person 
to person or<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>person to public communication is never censored in 
such a way,<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>not even C-Span does such.&nbsp; But the GA [ Eric 
and Debbie] does!&nbsp; &gt;:(</P>
<P>Thankfully none of our mailing lists have such draconian nonsensical<SPAN 
class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>Censorship provisions, nor did the FCC impose such 
on P2P traffic when<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>the RIAA's complaint regarding such&nbsp;was 
strongly and unanomously denied.<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT 
face=Geneva size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>But the GA does! &gt;:(&nbsp; Frankly 
such censorship reminds me of "Extrodinary<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT 
face=Geneva size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>Rendition", you may not know what that 
is Dominik, but Mr. Dierker surely<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT 
face=Geneva size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>does.</P>
<P>So in summation and seemingly as usual, any of our members that<SPAN 
class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>engage in 
Tasting activities, warehousing of domain Names, or Domain<SPAN 
class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>Name 
speculation on a large scale, shall have their membership revoked<SPAN 
class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>until 
they have renounced to ever engage in those activities via a signed<SPAN 
class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>and 
notarized affidavit.&nbsp; Same is true for Censorship [ other than self 
censorship],<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>infringing in any way of personal privacy, engaging 
in the trafficing of child<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>pornography on the Internet or elsewhere, engaging 
in cybersquatting, typosquatting,<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT 
face=Geneva size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>phishing, IP address hijacking&nbsp;or 
other<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>defined forms of same, and/or any&nbsp;other forms 
of Internet scams.&nbsp; Further, any or our members that fail to report such 
activities<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT face=Geneva 
size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>to a proper&nbsp;legal authority shall also have 
their membership revoked or temporary<SPAN class=316541612-01042008><FONT 
face=Geneva size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></SPAN>suspended pending further review.</P>

have.<SPAN class=316541612-01042008>&nbsp;</SPAN>"Collective or selective

<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></FONT></SPAN>&nbsp;</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></FONT></SPAN>&nbsp;</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,

in it can join and work together. I have some ideas how to improve the work;

<P>remains unchanged for the reasons I have already stated clearly and</P>
<P>emphatically.&nbsp; BTW, Mr. Dierker I trimmed you redundant CC's in 
accordance</P>
<P>with the questionably ligitimate "List Rules".&nbsp; Please practice what</P>
<P>you preach, if you would be so kind.</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 
indeed.<BR><BR><BR></P>

<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>
