Re: [ga] Thought provokcing post as WSIS forum/diffusion

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hugh/Eric, and all former DNSO GA members or other interested
stakeholders/users,

  Our members have always spoken when decided, with one voice.
This is an accomplishment the ICANN BoD's and Staff's have yet
to achieve, nor are ever likely to.  Ego's and greed are their masters,
instead of mastering Ego and greed...

 So again, as Lao Tzu said, "one who knows others is wise, one who
knows oneself is enlightened"...  Know thyself...
