Re: [ga] ICANN Budget

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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

  Too much water under the bridge for your rehashed suggestion
to work or be even to a small degree successful.  This would have
worked as I originally recommended in 1998.  But not likely to now.
Besides according to the ICANN BoD and staff, the ALAC is
the vehicle for membership which we all here know and have known
is a farce...

 Once the GA was disbanded after many attempts to keep it
going, real and meaningful membership was lost as far as
a legitimate part of ICANN...

  For instance Eric, Thomas or whomever is now responsible for
this forum can't even fix or keep the archives up and working
properly... See:http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/ga/
