Re: [ga] Re: NSI & Expired domain names -- violation of consensus deletions policy??

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

  I will be interested in hearing how and in what fashion Versign will
give a "Smakback" to Twomey...  Given that Dr. Twomey's previous
position to his tenure thus far with ICANN was with Telstra, one of the
worst spam generating ISP's in the southern Pacific area, it seems rather
obvious that any "Smackdown" he may consider or actually try to implement
will not have the ethical or creditable impact he may believe it should or
will have...
