Re: [ga] GA irrelevant

[Thomas Baxter <baxtertms@xxxxxxxxx>]

Then who can decide - is ICANN leaving the list out in the wind for 
purpose? I cant understand that they wont come in a shut off holey joe
crakpott.

I think they want to make us unimportant and hope joe messes up
the list with his crap so it makes us look bad and they can say - oh
those domain customers are bad and just fight all of the time.

Hey joe, do you get proud that now once again you are making it bad
again for more people in the DNS just like in Holland five years ago?

Can ALL OF YOU SEE THIS? ARE YOU BLIND PERSONS OR WHAT IS
THE PROBLEM HERE? WHY DO YOU SUPPORT THIS TERRORIST??

The reason the GA has become irrelevant is because we don't have the power to 
vote. And you guys who have the right to vote - under the rules - don't demand 
it. ICANN who is supposed to facilitate voting for a replacement for chair 
refuses to provide us what we need and ICANN is obligated to provide - i.e. a 
voting booth ;)

Thats the problem with the GA. The support we need to move forward is not 
provided.

we need to vote in a chair so I can be replaced as monitor as per the rules. 
Eric has served his term - he has called for elections. ICANN however has 
failed to provide the voting facility. Again - hint hint.

Exactly. We need to be empowered. We need a vote. We need our voice back - or 
lets just get us a voting booth and bypass ICANN - hint hint - who luvs ya now 
;)

And we are going to have to ask ourselves a question "do we want to give roB0ts 
the vote"? You know what I'm talking about.

No. Your being kind to Roberto. I know that and you know that. All we need is 
the ability to vote us a chair - that is our RIGHT under the rules of this 
assembly. Am I right - or AM I RIGHT. It's elementary - we need to vote. 
Roberto is part of the problem that denies us the vote. They are afraid we 
might take ourselves seriously and make demands. Remember the GA is part of a 
proud legacy of ICANN f??k ups - pardon le france.

ICANN is stuck with us - so why don't we do something amazing and demand our 
voting rights. Or take them to some other voting booth. Am I right. Let see 
what happens.

hmmmm :0
