Patrick and all assembly members,

  I respectfully disagree with a few of your assessments below.

  No it is not really.  I has been made many times to be disjointed
however.

  You resigned due to poor health as I recall.  We the assembly members
decided an Alt chair is not needed until the next scheduled.

  Eric Dierker took on that responsibility and tried to pass it on to me.
I declined.  He than said that Peter Denge-Thrush was taking over that
function.  We are awaiting Eric's and Peters progress report as Eric
promised.

  Three motions have been voted upon.  They have been passed onto the
NC.  They should be than passed onto the ICANN BoD.

  Yes there is.  It need improvement but it exists and has worked
fairly well.

  Yes it does.  It is in place and working pretty well.  They should not
be overbearing however.

  True.

True for the most part.

Not true.  There are a number of possible ways of achieving
consensus.  However the ICANN BoD and staff as well as the
NC are not willing to do so by vote.

  Not always.  But this does seem to be a problem from time to time.
The DNSO GA needs a full time paid Secretariat.

Yes there is.  And it works but not all that well.  The List illegitimate
list rules need modifying.

  No, that would be a very bad idea.  It is an assembly.  Perhaps
you are not all that familiar with how and assembly often operates?
