Re: [ga] List Rules, moderator and chair

George and all,

  Well this seems rather dreconian at best.  Opting-in in most
constituencies means signing or agreeing to what in effect
is a loyality oath which in some cases requires that you give
up some of your rights as a citizen.  Such membership requirements
is one of the huge reasons why ICANN has not yet met the
full requirements of the MOU and as such have not yet passed
the bar for the JPA.  My guess is that what  your proposing will
meet with serious contention and perhaps legal action accordingly.
As ICANN is already under some pressure in respect to .XXX
law suit, it would seem unwise for then to even appear to attract
yet another.
