Re: [ga] $0.25 tax paid to ICANN

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ted and all,

  I agree and have long before you were ever involved or at least
known to have been involved here. No offense.  But it has been
and is now even more clear that the ICANN Bod, staff, and now
it seems DOC/NTIA do not share this basic idea.  So either
registrants file a joint class joint action law suit contending same
in respect to restraint of trade, ect., or what has been handed down
from DOC/NTIA will stand.
