Re: [ga] ICANN has posted the proposed Budget for the FY 2005 -2006

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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

  Corporate "Subsidies" would remove much of the independence of ICANN
and move it further in the direction of a corporate for profit wholly
owned
subsidiary.  Such a capture removes further the individual
stakeholder/users
input and objectivity of ICANN..  I cannot imagine that any meeting with

DOJ would or should include or condone corporate ownership in effect
of ICANN.  But perhaps your question eric is best directed to DOJ..
