Re: [ga] Alac forum messages missing, GA-list archives missing, Registrars list archives missing

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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

  Waiting to see if the archives for the GNSO/DNSO forum will be
restored after nearly 6 months, is akin to waiting for answers to ICANN
BoD members such as Dan Holloran.  Ergo, don't hold your breath
Richard!

  Not having archives is also in disagreement with GAO recommendations
which I guess ICANN is not interested or willing to comply with.

 Openness and transparency are not served effectively if archives for
public review are not made available and up to date..
