<P>Eric and all,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; Given the testamony is now a part of history as are the discussions 
from the pre and post <BR>DNSO ga as well as a few other ICANN constituencies 
with non-ICANN archives fully</P>
<P>recorded much the same as the now long defunct gtld-mou archives, it is and 
has been</P>
<P>clear the niether Brent nor Denise were fully forthright in their 
testamony.&nbsp; FWIW I for one </P>
<P>am doubtful that such will be properly investigated as such should 
be.<BR><BR><BR></P>

<DIV>Two points Danny:</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>1. Ignorance is not an excuse for being wrong, although it may be an 
excuse for a downright misstatements of fact; <A 
href="http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/index.html#200709"; target=_blank 
rel=nofollow>http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/index.html#200709</A>&nbsp; 
and</DIV>
<DIV>Where that right and responsibility came from was <A 
href="http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#XX"; target=_blank 
rel=nofollow>http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#XX</A>&nbsp; and the 
history can be found here: <A

rel=nofollow>http://www.geolang.com/draftGAListRules5.htm</A></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>2. Why is this addressed to GNSO Council from ALAC which is not a forum 
for individuals but rather for groups?&nbsp; Clearly Ms. Michels agenda is to 
transfer this list to a group forum of only members of established 
constituencies.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>This statement by Denise is a complete opposite statement than the one 
Brent made under penalty of perjury to US congress yesterday. This can be found 
here: <A href="http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/calendar.html"; 
target=_blank><SPAN class=yshortcuts 
id=lw_1253809668_0>http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/calendar.html</SPAN></A></DIV>
<DIV>We must assume one of these folks is not being forthright.<BR><BR>--- On

<DIV class=plainMail><BR>from the Council list:<BR><BR>Dear Council 
Members,<BR><BR>I've been asked to provide some information regarding item 8 
on<BR>tomorrow's Council meeting agenda ("GA List request for 
election<BR>support").<BR><BR>Under the current <SPAN>ICANN</SPAN> bylaws, 
there is no provision for any officers<BR>(or Secretariat) of the GA mailing 
list, nor any provisions regarding<BR>GNSO responsibility for the GA list. It 
is not an official structure<BR>within ICANN.&nbsp; Thus, ICANN Staff will not 
be “preparing a voting<BR>booth” or facilitating any election related to this 
list.<BR><BR>For those not familiar with this list, "GA" stands for 
"General<BR>Assembly," which was a structure within the original DNSO 
(predecessor<BR>to GNSO) that ceased to exist when the DNSO was restructured 
into the<BR>GNSO years ago.&nbsp; There was an expectation at the time that the 
new<BR>GNSO would replace the old GA email list with a 
substantive,<BR>cross-constituency discussion list, but that did not 
materialize.&nbsp; The<BR>list was left open, but there is no obligation by the 
GNSO to maintain<BR>it.<BR><BR>Please let me know if you have 
questions.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Denise<BR><BR><BR>Denise Michel<BR>ICANN Vice
