Re: [ga] DC hearing on new TLDs at 10 am today (September 23rd)

I do not normally say mean and nasty things but sometimes when it is just so 
blatant you have to call a spade a spade and not a trowel.  Doug Brent is lying 
here:
 
"
ICANN is really two things. First, a public benefit nonprofit, private sector 
led
corporation organized under the laws of the State of California and 
headquartered
there. Second, ICANN is a global organization of stakeholders, including 
participants
from across industry, governments and individual Internet users.
 
(italics added)
 
I think I can speak well to this issue.  ICANN does not allow us individual 
users to participate.  NCUC and ALAC are cases on point.

Hi folks,

Just a reminder that the hearing in DC on new TLDs starts in less than
an hour (at 10 am Eastern time).

One can watch the webcast live via the September 23rd link at:

http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/calendar.html

and read the prepared statements at:

http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/hear_090923.html

As an experiment, I've created a little free chatroom via TinyChat.com
if some others in the ICANN community might want to text chat during the 
hearing. See:

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
