[ga] Ombudsman from ICANN

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well it is basically official from "the Office" of ICANN Ombudsman. The 
Ombudsman has the authority to ban people from the GA. But no one in the GA has 
the right to complain.
 
Let me try to be accurate here.  Mr. Fowlie does not handle complaints from the 
GA from me. However Mr. Fowlie edits the participation in the GA. There is no 
person from ICANN that handles the GA. But so far we know that Kent Crispin, 
Patrick Jones and Frank Fowlie can censor the GA. Their method of censorship is 
not content but individually oriented. They do not ban works but people.  
Historically this not a normal approach. Under the conventions set forth in the 
United Nations General Assembly 1948, we may ban words but not Ideas and 
certainly not people.
 
In all fairness I was told that I could write to the CEO of ICANN care of the 
Secretary of the BoD.  I was told that I could complain through the office of 
the Ombudsman. But that is pure silliness: Ombudsman deal with 3rd parties and 
the CEO is a member of this list.
 
So the last I heard from the Ombudsman was that he did not have a problem and 
so therefor neither did I and so therefor he unilaterally cancelled our meeting.
 
Oh well just another week at accountability headquarters.
