Re: [ga-roots] U.S. Chamber of Commerce event in DC on ICANN, domains on 6/22

How can you ask that question Kristy? How do you expect them to convince
people they are telling the truth if they allow both sides to be heard? :-)

They cannot allow the truth to be heard. Then it would show they support
larger businesses unfairly competing with small businesses, something that
would cost them some of their membership dues from small business owners.

See ICANN didn't invent keeping the general public misinformed. That tactic
has been with us for a long time.

Propaganda: pro·pa·gan·da

\fpräp",gand", fpr<p"-\ n :  the spreading of ideas or information to
further or damage a cause

ICANN and others like to call this PR.
