True. But information about the IDNO, such as membership growth (NOT
internal politics) or election results  *is*  relevant to the business of
the GA.
It is relevant to DNSO reform, to the formation of the WG, to the GA
resolutions made on the subject.

Walsh' unrepentant challenge to go with personal attacks ("refuting
claims") regardless of what you or Harald find should be ground enough for
reinstating his suspension.

Just watch how people like  that abuse what they see as indecisive weakness
on the part of a moderator team.
