<P>Eric and all,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; Perhaps I am wrong, but I translate this development in meaning that 
the GA is a private ICANN mailing list. ???</P>
<P>Maybe Frank, Rod, or the secretariat can clarify this and/or correct 
me.&nbsp; If I am correct, than public participation</P>
<P>and oversight as well as follow-on transparency has taken a step 
backwards.&nbsp; That's not good IMO, but ICANN has the</P>
<P>right to manage it's resources to include the GA list in any manner it so 
desires.&nbsp;It would have been nice and perhaps</P>
<P>more appropriate if some sort of announcment preceeding this 'information' 
to the GA list members/subscribers</P>
<P>would have been provided, if what your saying below Eric, is 
correct.&nbsp;<BR><BR><BR></P>

<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Let me try to be accurate here.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>In all fairness I was told that I could write to the CEO of ICANN care of 
the Secretary of the BoD.&nbsp; 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.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Oh well just another week at accountability 
headquarters.</DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Jeffrey A.
