Re: [ga] RE: Registrants Constituency

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dr. Dierker, Andy and all,

  I believe we are all of the same mind here.  And I agree with Dr.
Dierkers sentiments.  I would offer a slight modification to the
way he stated it: The issue of end user "Individual" representation,
free and unrestricted, must be pressed from all angles, all sides at
all times.

  As to Andy's observant remarks and/or comments, I thought
that the Mou was the mandate to which you more than likely are
right, suggest?  If I am correct, than it seems that ICANN is dragging
it's feet and offering various excuses as to why they have not complied
and DOC/NTIA have been VERY considerate of those various excuses...
If I am incorrect, than such a mandate is long overdue as events have
clearly shown...
