Re: [ga] Nominating Committee Review

Danny and all,

  Seems to me your conclusion is correct.  This doesn't even
pass the smell test.  I am also surprised ICANN legal council
is allowing this or at least has not objected with prejudice.
Additionally this seems to be situation where DOC/NTIA
should be exercising it's oversight authority.  This also doesn't
come close to meeting ISO guidelines.
