Subject: [ga] ICANN Ethics questioned again..

All former DNSO GA members or other interested parties,

  Recently ICANNWATCH.ORG reports other regions of the
world, this time in Asia, seriously questioning ICANN's ethics.
See: http://www.icannwatch.com/article.php?sid=1066&mode=&order=0

  Seems that in From the ICANN meeting in Singapore to Amsterdam
that Stuart Lynn and the ICANN Bod still doesn't understand or wish to
understand that ICANN's ethics and thwarting the White Paper and
even the New MoU in his seriously flawed reform decisions aren't playing

or being excepted well...

Subject: [ga] Thretening remarks from one of your Partners - Spcl. Attn. Don Heath, Vint Cerf, and other ICANN BOD members Et Al..

Don and ICANN BOD members,

  This evening I received, along with Jim Flemming some threatening
remarks
regarding a post replied to by myself originating from Jim Flemming
from one of your Partners Don. (See copy below)  I would kindly request
and strongly suggest that you take a few moments to council Mr. Joffe
to tread very carefully in the near future.

  To Vint Cerf and the ICANN BoD and staff.  It is also of great concern

and displeasure that I regretfully inform you as well that these sorts
of
threatening remarks and innuendoes are disparaging, disruptive and
damaging to the stakeholders of .ORG domains of which I, and many
of our members are among.  We find this sort of proposed or suggested
intimidation by Mr Joffe to be on questionable legal ground, and will
take whatever steps are necessary and helpful to rectify or address
these sorts of threats to our INEGroup members or those that
seek INEGroup's assistance that are .ORG registrants in this
unfortunate and distasteful matter.

Rodney,

  Than why did you send me or Jim a response such as this if our
E-Mail
is not expectable and instead just employ your own filter?  Somehow
I see your remarks below as disingenuous at best.  None the less I
shall refrain from sending you any more E-Mail in the future, Rodney.

  However one more note.  If you wish to sue me or my service
provider,
please understand I shall stand by my service provider in such a suit
and shall leave no stone unturned and file a corresponding suit for
attempting to threaten myself in you comments below as well as
for casting false aspersions.  I shall make sure that all of our
INEGRoup
members are aware of these comments/remarks below...  So in short,
I await you service sir...
