Dear Elisabeth

I clearly said that I would deal with each issue separately.  By that I
meant that I would respond in a separate email.  I do not like confusing
two separate issues together.  I have no intention of quoting you out
of context.  Here now is my detailed reply:

Your fears are groundless.  Perhaps you should understand that the Chair and
Alt Chair are taking responsibility for these decisions.

I am not suggesting that complaints should not be allowed.

Harald is quite wrong and I have cited examples to prove it.  That was, in
fact, only ONE month -- not THREE.   He also said "none" not "almost none".

Not counting two cross-posts from the GA executive (Chair, List Monitor) I
have identified TEN cross-posts between the [ga] list and the [ga-abuse]
list in the period of one month cited by Harald.  These are listed below.

If it appears on BOTH lists it is a cross-posting.  I don't understand any
other meaning.  Please see below for the 10 examples.  They are in the
archives.  Please don't be difficult.  It's just making things worse.

The decision is one for the Chair-Alternate Chair -- not the List Monitors.
However, my mails have been copied to [ga-abuse] and there has been no
dissent.  I would appreciate you not creating unnecessary obstacles.

I am happy to make an announcement to the [ga] list but cannot do so if you
won't agree in the first instance.  I really have a hard time getting you to
understand.  As I said to you, Philip, the GA and the Names Council on the
[ga] list:

How much clearer do I need to be?  I would dread to think of how many
HUNDREDS of emails have been sent on this subject.  To just about
everyone in the DNSO.  And the work I have to do to prove my case.

And now Roberto has weighed into the debate.  Sheesh !!
What makes it worse is that this is only one minor issue !!

Just do it, Elisabeth.  Please.
