Re: [ga] WLS, GA, ALSO and ICANN

[Abel Wisman <abel@able-towers.com>]

i seen to remember that in more then one posting i attacked the legality of 
the WLS proposal

for instance : http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc09/msg00231.html

since everything or most to do with domains / ip's has to do with registrars, 
resellers, isps, that is likely to be the largest participant group on the 
list.
ICANN as a whole has specific intrest, had you not stopped reading you might 
have found several postings on the topic.

Thomas's summary is a good thing but alas not really complete. I suggest you 
check the archives

regards
