Re: [ga] Domain Monetization Issues Report

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Danny, Vint, and all,

  With all due consideration and respect, the ALAC was ill conceived,
has never been open and transparent, and is overly restricted as to
membership in it's exclusionary membership rules.  Hence it
seems logical that any result(s) from the ALAC would reflect
far less than good and/or accurate information of any kind
or type.
