RE: [ga] ICANN Board unanimously approves .biz/.info/.org registry agreements by 13-0

Veni,

if we as the GA list members were, though indirectly, named a majority
not too much worth of being listened to, then what you think our
motivation for the upcoming work could look like? We absolutely need a
reflection of what's actually happened, at least, for preventing
ourselves from making the same mistakes over again. It's also important
to clarify the basic motivations, right for proceeding with the work on
ICANN issues. If someone plays mainly for the registrars and the
registries, an agreement with those advocating the registrants can
hardly be achievable.
I was not willing to write about the political situation or the history.
Your words just reminded me of something that's definitely over. And as
I remember I tried to be quite specific on the concrete ICANN issues in
some of my previous mail. Even on those that are up-to-date.

Dominik,
I already said it several times, but perhaps you have missed it.
Explanation of votes has been done in several cases; it has not helped,
regardless of how I vote. I mean, it has not helped here, in the GA
list.
There are certainly quite knowledgable people here, and certainly they
should also know the basic rule of business: once a decision is made,
take it, and keep on working. By going back to history, and why someone
did something, you are not making any progress.

As for the words below, I'd say that you've responded to your own
questions, too. At least for me at this point this conversation is over.
You've said your opinion, I've said mine. We disagree. Fair enough. But
there's more work to be done in the future - both for making ICANN
better, and for making the Internet better. If you have lots of time to
spend on explaining everything you do, then how would you have time to
actually do something?

My understanding of the bottom-up process is obviously not what you
wrote - and I am not sure why on earth would someone even think that
this could be my understanding...
