RE: [ga] I'm back

I think this comes down to the governance structure and list rules of the GA
which appear to have broken down leaving the GNSO with no option but to
intervene when asked.  The way round it is to establish a working governance
structure with written rules.  We have done this in the past but we need
more participants if we are to have a self-governing structure under the
structured governance as outlined in the ICANN by-laws (which state that the
GNSO has ultimate responsibility for the GA list).

Illegitimate censorship of GA List and ICANN participants is a problem area
that should be addressed. Attempting to silence the critics who raise those
issues doesn't foster a good 'ethos'.

In any event, I should have more to say in a couple of weeks. Enjoy the
summer (in the Northern Hemisphere), folks!

Welcome back George.  I look forward to some positive conversations within
the GA in the future.  I hope we can foster an ethos of the GA working with
ICANN in the development of ideas and policies and in highlighting problem
areas that need to be addressed.  
Regards
