The success or failure of any group in the domain name wars turns on the extent to which it is perceived as following the princples of openness and transparency. This group appears to be moving in a different direction. It is acting in a manner consistent with what it perceives to be that of ICANN and for which it has castigated that group.
Instead of permitting a vote of the membership to be taken to determine whether there is support or not for squelching Dave Crocker and Kent Crispin, a SECOND vote is launched to squelch them. Kent Crispin has as much right to be here as I do. He has more right to be here than some of the members, whose link as individuals to domains is so tenuous as to make the IDNO group meaningless.
Hmmm, and is it coincidental that the results of the first squelchvote have been suppressed?
So far as deciding that something is or is not the "last time" something will be discussed: when did we elect a supreme poo-bah to decide what will or will not be discussed here?
