Re: [ga] [Fwd: [address-policy-wg] ICANN Ratifies Global Policy for Allocation of IPv6 Address Space]

Michael as I said before, I respect your opinion. And have done so with
others, but do not easily sit still when being condescended to as if someone
from ICANN is doing us a big favor by listening. That is what they are
supposed to be doing. If they came in with that attitude rather than
assuming they know more than everyone else and acting as if every dissenting
opinion is a personal attack, then it might not happen. Respect goes two
ways. They can give some to get some. Ignoring everything that is produced
here as if it were not worth listening to or as if they were doing us some
huge favor by listing is not a show of respect.
