Re: [ga] For the Record

[Sotiris Sotiropoulos <sotiris@worldatlarge.org>]

A point of clarification on my earlier statement.  I am not adverse to 
this "rebid motion" going to a vote.  I am of the opinion that the GA 
has the ability to vote on what it pleases, including the 
proposal/petition currently under discussion, as the NC itself has 
repeatedly dabbled in areas outside its concern (including the AtLarge 
issue among other things!).  Mission creep is an unwritten rule within 
ICANN.  There is no question in my mind that there can be any valid 
objection to the vote going forward.  On the other hand, I was concerned 
that my support for a vote may be misconstrued as public support for the 
"motion" currently under consideration.  I believe the current motion 
proposal is much too simplistic as is, and furthermore, it does not 
address the primary issue in ICANN's miscreant behaviour: the systematic 
and deliberate dismantling of effective and meaningful public 
participation and input in ICANN policy making.  

Sincerely,

Sotiris Sotiropoulos
