I agree - but who cares. Get them together - drop some money in the bucket -
and get represented.

ICANN to me right now is a scam wrapped in shit. A lot like the HEX -
www.inaic.com and www.unifiedroot.com - it's just more sophisticated as
scams go. A professional civil servant created it. Now handy Rodney is
riding the bulls back into the stable. Or trying too teoritically speaking
which is probably more accurate. Meanwhile the Chinese are laughing it up
and back at the ICANN table.

There is a need for domains at all levels to have representation at ICANN.
Taxation without representation is the lowest for of crime known to the U.S.
courts. ICANN represents an experiment in which the Internet assets of the
U.S. government - being names and numbers. The people of the United States
of America have been ripped off by the agreements made between NTIA DOC NSF
.. etc. etc. etc. .. as the names and numbers hot potatoes get tossed from
one agency to another. In ICANN there is a clear testimonial the people have
been ripped off.

ICANN is the absence of innovation afloat in the void of bureaucracy. It's a
terrible job for an idealist and intellectual.

Hire a lawyer in California: give ICANN an ultimatum to provide board
representation - as promised in many agreements - and if they don't respond
properly - sue them for representation.

Thats the only way were ever going to be represented.
