Well Jeff,
 
The puzzling part is that: Right now it is what they need to justify more 
gTLDs, Sept 30th, EU and UN challenges.  If they slow participation and 
interest then why more gTLDs? Why them instead of another more inclusive forum.
 
Silly

Eric and all,

  Very good point!  I am sure it is missed by the GNSO chair, the
GNSO council ( also a closed group ), and the ICANN staff.  Openness
and Transparency within ICANN is nonexistent, but Selective Censorship
for various and largely undefined reasons is an ICANN hallmark.  Such
an ethic is unreasonable IMO.

  prove it. Ban a couple. Make threats. Name call those who disagree and
  the vast majority go away. But as we discussed 3-6 posts a week on any
  list is banner headlines for places such as atlarge and the "open" BC.
  Comments that are requested are way ooff, and I mean offf the charts
  as in, not there. I applied at the BC but have been rejected by
  silence. I reckon my business ain't their business and their ain't
  nonmybusyness. Got rejected by the Asians CZ I don't live there full
  time. Knocked out by NA cuz I'm in So Cal. I know two other guys did
  not have a place to call home. Not Joe and Jeff -- JC and my buddy
  with the Belly.

       Dear ICANN Community Leaders and Members:

       ICANN's Ombudsman, Frank Fowlie, recently posted a web page
       on Respectful
       Online Communication and Behavior:
       <http://icann.org/ombudsman/respectful-communication-en.htm>.
       This page
       emphasizes the importance of respectful communication
       in ICANN, particularly
       in this phase of its development as an international
       organization:

       "Members of the community are asked to bear in mind that
       fellow community
       members, volunteers, stakeholders, and staff members are all
       deserving of
       considerate treatment.  Members of the community are asked
       to bear in mind
       that the diversity of thought, and diversity of
       participants, in this unique
       - bottom up - consensus driven - multilingual and
       multicultural organization
       is ICANN’s strength."

       ICANN's Standard of Behaviour also can be found on this
       page, and is
       included below for easy reference.

       I know some community leaders are discussing how to further
       encourage and
       enforce these standards within their community.  Please
       don't hesitate to
       contact ICANN Staff if there is anything we can do to assist
       with this
       endeavor.

       Regards,
       Denise

       *ICANN EXPECTED STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOR*

       "Those who take part in ICANN multi-stakeholder process
       including Board,
       staff and all those involved in Supporting Organization
       and Advisory
       Committee councils undertake to:

       Act in accordance with ICANN's Bylaws. In particular,
       participants undertake
       to act within the mission of ICANN and in the spirit of the
       values contained
       in the Bylaws.

       Adhere to the conflict of interest policy laid out in the
       Bylaws.

       Treat all members of the ICANN community equally,
       irrespective of
       nationality, gender, racial or ethnic origin, religion or
       beliefs,
       disability, age, or sexual orientation; members of the ICANN
       community
       should treat each other with civility both face to face and
       online.

       Act in a reasonable and informed manner when participating
       in policy
       development and decision-making processes. This includes
       regularly attending
       all scheduled meetings and exercising independent judgment
       based solely on
       what is in the overall best interest of Internet users and
       the stability and
       security of the Internet's system of unique identifiers,
       irrespective of
       personal interests and the interests of the entity to which
       an individual
       might owe their appointment.

       Listen to the views of all stakeholders when considering
       policy issues.
       ICANN is a unique multi-stakeholder environment. Those who
       take part in the
       ICANN process must acknowledge the importance of all
       stakeholders and seek
       to understand their points of view.

       Work to build consensus with other stakeholders in order to
       find solutions
       to the issues that fall within the areas of ICANN's
       responsibility. The
       ICANN model is based on a bottom-up, consensus driven
       approach to policy
       development. Those who take part in the ICANN process must
       take
       responsibility for ensuring the success of the model by
       trying to build
       consensus with other participants.

       Act in accordance with ICANN policies.

       Protect the organization's assets and ensure their efficient
       and effective
       use.

       Act fairly and in good faith with other participants in the
       ICANN process."
