Re: [ga] Constituency De-Recognition Process

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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

As you already know the GNSO was the bastard stepchild of what once
was the DNSO GA and was created in order to limit membership and
open/transparent participation in ICANN and the then DNSO, hence
the name change to GNSO.  The DNSO GA was than disbanded.
Therefore the now GNSO is nothing more than a farce of a placemaker
for ICANN's BoD and staff to manipulate as it sees fit.  Hence your
correct request although well intentioned will only spawn yet another
brain fart storm for finding a way to either bolster this consituency's
membership or migrate it into an already questionably legitimate
GNSO constituency which is already "under the thumb" of the
ICANN BoD and staff.
