  I disagree in part.  That part being Thomas, that any and all
interested
parties, a la the MoU, should be able to observe on any ICANN related
Task Force. <Full Stop>  Anything less or other wise is just a form
of ideological manipulation or at lease extremely subject to it.  Your
own tone in your response to Danny seem to indicate that as well... :(
I am quite disappointed in anyone displaying such.

  Now that said here, I also in part agree with you that JUST to
runner-ups should be observers on ANY task force.  In addition,
I disagree to this extent with Danny in such an exclusionary
consideration.

  Interesting comment here Thomas! My My, I could think you have
a personal problem with me and Eric!  How gosh!  How terribly
disgusting!  Perhaps I should parish this thought?  Please advise.

  MERCY!  Aren't we the little scrooge that wrecked the xmas sprit!
Heaven forbid!  So it seems than that you don't believe in an open,
transparent, and stakeholder driven process as outlined in the White
Paper or the MoU...  Very sad indeed!  :((
