Re: [ga] Icannatlarge.com - please give it a chance!

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Alex and all assembly members, stakeholders or interested parties,

  We are giving it a chance Alex.  I also agree that any such effort
should be open to any and all stakeholders/users, as do all
of our [INEGroup] members.

The big problems that have been expressed are more along the
lines of the following:

1.) A steerting committee was "Appointed" by Joop-Pinder
     that does not seem to reflect the will of the thus far
     ICANNATLARGE.COM membership ( i.e. these
     and not elected folks in this Steering Commettee)

2.) A difirenciation of "Type" of membership has been
     effected from the get go which did not meet the
     predominance of the ALSC participants indicating
     that only Domain Name holders are of "Special"
     signifigance.  This is against the MoU and the White
     paper and is therefore disenfrnchising as a result.

3.) There is not Email forum for this effort only Webmail
      which as many know is too easly manipulated.
