Re: [ga] RE: GA irrelevant

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Karl and all,

  Here here Karl!  But as you know this dymanic is not
seemingly understood let alone recognized by ICANN
'Officials' for reason or reasons not factually known
and/or accurately articulated.

We have had this discussion many times before.  The 
results end up unchanged as far as the ICANN structure
is concerned, including most especially the GNSO.  This is
one of several reasons that the GA should or I have and will
continue to argue needs full reinstatement and recognition
as the mix of entities represented by either their activities,
domain names, or presence/use of the Internet are so in reality
so important. Hence the GA is VERY Relevent, but largely 
not properly or appropriately recognized...  A sad comentary...
