Hi Veni,

We're certain that you would agree that the people that participate at this
forum are here to discuss ICANN issues that concern them. Given that GA
subscribers have different agendas, there is certain to be controversy in
various discussions. ICANN does some things well, which can be left alone.
This isn't a pep rally with everyone cheering for the same thing. The other
issues that require improvement are the main topics of discussion here.

Contrary to what you may believe or expect, this is also not an ICANN fan
club with everyone looking up to ICANN directors as celebrities. If you're
in need of praise and fearful of sharp commentary, then perhaps you need to
join a public support group. People are here to share their ideas and
opinions to contribute to the group. If you understand that, then you will
realize that people with differing opinions should not be viewed as your
adversaries. The different viewpoints expressed should be used as
constructive criticism to improve ICANN policies for the benefit of the
community at large.

Sincerely,
Ted
