[ga-abuse] Jeff Williams

["Co-Chair, DNSO GA" <patrick@corliss.net>]

Hi Elisabeth

I'm sorry to trouble you but there will be a few problems while we settle in
the new lists.  The following email bounced to me as list owner.  I note
that it was cross-posted as follows:

CC: ga@dnso.org, icann board address <icann-board@icann.org>,
        ga-roots@dnso.org

Can you confirm that cross posting is stopped between the different [ga]
lists?  I would also like to stop cross posting to the names council and the
ICANN board except perhaps for the Chair and Co-Chair.  Could advise,
please?

Meanwhile can I unsubscribe Jeff Williams from all six lists while he is
suspended?  Messages I have received appear to allow me to control the list
but it seems I need a password.

The following comments have been made by <one of the world's most respected
authorities on the DNS> who has privately advised she will not subscribe to
any of the [ga] lists.  She states:

As you say, let's take care of our list.

Best regards

  It seems obvious that Kent is trying to paint a negative view upon
possibly
extending
a review process for Appendix U concerns that is divisive in his wording.
I agree with Danny's earlier post in that seven days is not really and
adequate
time for any BoD to review this information adequately.  I would therefore
suggest that 30 days be set aside for a better and more comprehensive
review of these areas in the new questionable gTLD contracts/agreements.
I know our members that have been chiming in are quite concerned
regarding many aspects of these gTLD contracts.

  We must all remember that if these contracts are accepted by DOC/NTIA
they will be with us for a long time and such precedence set there unto
within will set a precedent for future contracts for gTLD's.
