Re: [ga] RE: Registrants Constituency

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Karl and all,

  It's clear that Roberto is trying to confuse users with registrants
and lump "normal users" with Registrants vice versa as a subset
within the GNSO structure.  Ergo, "normal users"  may or may
not have a registered domain name, and if not it seems Roberto
does not consider then to "fly" in regards to being represented
equally with users whom are also Registrants.  Such a notion
is inconsistent with the Mou, and also not logical so therefore
not a creditable contention or position...

  Yet is is reasonable that a "Registrants Constituency" with
the GNSO is logical to the degree that the GNSO is legitimate,
which we all know it is not and was not legitimately conceived
from the beginning.
