[ga] Pigheadedness

Dear Stuart and Vint,

Thank you for conveying the impression that the ICANN Board is being 
responsive to the concerns of the community by way of the message you posted 
to the Names Council on the development of policy regarding nameserver 
updates, posted at: 
http://www.icann.org/correspondence/cerf-lynn-letter-to-names-council-20sep02.

I have noted that you have not declared your intent to immediately resolve 
the problem at hand, and have instead proposed the stalling tactic of 
claiming a need to explore the broader issues while awaiting an interim 
recommendation from the Committee on Security and Stability and/or from the 
DNSO Name Council before you authorize the IANA to update the name servers as 
requested.

You have already been advised by respected and concerned members of the 
technical community that your refusal to implement these changes constitutes 
a threat to the stability of the Internet (both in recent messages and 
through the unanimous Bucharest Communique of the ccTLD Managers).  

As you have not demonstrated any harm or inordinately grave risk associated 
with making these name server updates, why not end this infantile standoff 
and make the requested changes immediately?  We can all debate these other 
matters at a later point when ICANN ceases to threaten the stability of the 
Internet through its willful inaction.

Best regards,
Danny
