RE: [ga] George is being used. It's time to close down this list.

Danny,
 
How quickly you forget.  It was under your chairmanship that all privileges 
were taken from the GA. Your last at MDR had no GA meeting. That was the first 
time in ICANN history that, that ocurred.
 
I have asked you to steer or chair different working groups here and you have 
refused.  Now you are suggesting ALAC is a better forum?
 
I am all ears.  As Kent says, you are a great contributor. Where did this come 
from?

Well said Danny!

I asked a similar question some time ago when I first ventured into this
forum.

At that time, I seem to remember, I likened it to a forum for "hitting ICANN
with a big stick" because I couldn't see what the objectives were from the
posts.

Not much has changed over time.

Best regards

Debbie
