Re: [ga] primary objectives of the General Assembly mailing list

Ted and all,

  I agree.  We are all ICANN stakeholders whether ICANN recognizes
that fact or not, or at least US citizens are, and whether or not some of us

GA = General assembl for years are *members* of this entity, officially
recognized by ICANN or not.
