It has again become clear given Vini's response to George K., that
Veni has no idea what so ever what his responsibilities are as a
ICANN BoD member, nor any history of ICANN of for that
matter a good understanding of some RFC's.  As such my call for
Veni to consider resigining from the ICANN BoD seems more
than reasonable and not at all "Harsh" as Chris has suggested.
