Dear all,

Reading once again the ICANN's bylaws it looks like the GNSO council's role within ICANN is very limited:

ICANN bylaws, Article X, section 1:
"responsible for developing and recommending to the ICANN Board
substantive policies relating to generic top-level domains"

So I'm wondering how our voice about the SiteFinder will be heard from the council. Looks like that matter is more between ICANN staff and Verisign .... also the way Verisign respnded to ICANN ignoring all the IAB and SESAC reports really worry me.

Does Verisgn have the right to do watether they want on Internet ????
