Re: [ga] GA list and the GNSO council

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Danny and all,

  Thank you Danny for the "nc-intake[at]dnso.org:" reference again.
However as you have many times pointed out and/or remarked
these "Black hole" email list addresses have been of little value in
communicating effectively with either the GNSO council or
with the ICANN Bod and staff.  Ergo my request for being
able to post to, NOT ONLY READ, the GNSO council
eMail address, council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
