RE: [ga] Cross Posting

["Roberto Gaetano" <roberto@xxxxxxxxx>]

First of all, my T-shirts have always been clean, at least in the beginning
of the day. As the day proceeds, they get durty as much as a shirt and tie
would.

But more seriously, the dress code is not an absolute value, but is relative
to the community you operate in. The community gives itself rules (and
unless it is a Mickey Mouse group, it enforces them), and in order to
operate in the community you must obey the rules.
The ICANN meetings have a dress code that is different from a reception
given by an ambassador, for instance. A T-shirt, whatever your opinion on
the T-shirts is, is accepted in the former and not in the latter. On the
other hand, to go to an ICANN meeting dressed as you would go to a nudist
beach, would not be accepted, even if you had a shower just before and are
perfectly clean.

So, at the end of the day, the question is what is the "dress code" for
posting in the GA? This is inextricably linked to the type of people that
you would end up in hanging around.

Cheers,
Roberto

                Roberto,
         
        Your use of the concept of censorship is spot on.
         
        The illimination of people who express thoughts in a way that is
distasteful to some.
         
        I remember you showing up to Chair the GA physical meeting in
Melbourne. Most were in suits and nice dresses some in traditonal national
outfits as is fitting an international conference. You wore a rather ratty
ill fitting T-shirt, not even clean. I thought it totally disrespectful.
Elizabeth told me "we all have a right to express ourselves the way we
chose". It should be so on a list.
