Re: [ga] Sponsorship of IGF Workshops ( root server traffic analysis requests )

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dr. Dierker and all,

  Dr. Dierker, again please trim your CC list when responding as
not doing so wastes band width and folks in Vietnam whom may not
have any sex, can at least not be hendered by wasteful use of
resources such as band width.

However to your ?:

  Yes I believe at least Joe, Karl, and myself had several times ask for

these records or where they were available as a link, for review.  Those

requests went unresponded to, and remain unresponded to. The archives
of this forum should have a copy of those requests if indeed the
archives
have not again been redacted and/or had entries removed as has happened
in the past which against gets back to ICANN accountability and
transparency
concerns which remain a considerable credibility problem for ICANN.

  However George, or whomever he really is, is more concerned
about personality and political correctness issues as is most of the
BC which is hardly a area of responsibility or function of ICANN,
nor should it reasonably be of the GA.
