It has wasted its short time in sterile discussions of ways and
means to conform to exigencies made by others, people who want the
WG to be ineffectual. There is need to prove anything to the Board
or the NC. The Board and the NC were not, themselves, selected by
any democratic process, and they have used their hypocritical
demands for "consensus" and such like tomfoolery as a device for
hamstringing you.

I know what they will do with it. It is clear as day from all that
has gone before, and from the remarks of Ms. Swinehart and others
from the ruling clique.

Don't be silly. The Congressional Committee has only one interest:
placating the large businesses in the jurisdictions of House members
who are angry that they didn't get a piece of the TLD pie.

Which ccTLDs? Interested in what, a recommended revision of the
constituency structure, or a recommendation from this WG that the
constituencies be abandoned, both of which will end up in the trash?
The ccTLD regsitries have more on their plate than that; their
economic existence is under threat, exhorbitant fees are being
demanded of them and at the same time that their right to continue
operating their registry is at risk by the GAC, so that they are
afraid to say "no dough". Do you imagine that they care whether
there are a couple of new constituencies or not? Use your head.

This WG is a lunatic asylum.
