Re: [ga] [Fwd: Re: Susan Crawford :::: a reason to give it another go??

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

Friends and enemies,
 
 (I kind of like that twist in this era of open dialog and getting along. Now I 
can really get up at a lunch and nonchalantly introduce as such; These are my 
friends Bill and Ike, and this is my good enemy Jeff)
 
Obama through Crawford and her well educated, well experienced, extremely 
bright and caring people will bring more light onto/into ICANN. And I must say 
that if people came and looked at the releases and statements of ICANN in a 
frozen point in time, now, it would really look "on paper" like they are really 
trying to do an O' grass roots renovation.
Of course on closer reading they would see external Social (Danny) and 
Financial (George) audits that would make Madoff look cleaner than Vint or our 
Melbourne interloper ever did.
 
But this is only going to get bigger:

Now,,, if the GA were to organize and present united and divided position 
papers on relevant issues de jour, I dare say they would catch an ear, perhaps 
an eye and quite possibly someones attention. But as always Domain name 
marketeers and egotistical engineers will probably muck or muckrake it up. 
 
Certainly due to the abundant proof of other methodologies failures, new 
constituencies and ALAC, an organized GA is worth another (yes yet another) 
revisit.

Seth and all,

  I wish I could joint you in your enthusiasm.  But unfortunately
I cannot.  Yet it is mildly good to see Susan move on and into
a better position that can have a significant impact.  ICANN
is still after 10 years part of which Susan served, is a mess
and getting worse.  So her impact while at ICANN was relatively
not apparent in a positive direction.
