To one and all concerned in or about the continuing melee:

While I can not profess to be expert or an old-timer in these
matters of Internet governance, I am a domain name owner of an operating
domain and protection of the rights of myself and like people is my ONLY
interest in joining this list. Due to a constant sniping and retorting
of procedural issues and things that would not need to even be addressed
if we were all here to simply further the goals of the IDNO, virtually
nothing is being accomplished. People on all sides or angles of this
melee persist in saying they are here to advance the goals of IDNO and
believe they are doing so in some way. The objective viewer can easily
see this is not being effected, whatever the intent.
I would like to openly challenge ALL participants on this list,
members or not, to limit public commentary on the list to positive and
constructive comments and suggestions. The sniping and retorting is best
done privately as NO-ONE cares about, nor benefits from, this activity
other than the participants. (And all of them quickly lose everyone
else's respect the longer they continue, however eloquent they believe
their speeches to be.) They write for their own motives and serve only
their own egos and these people can and should form their own little
group for this melee with and gain the great appreciation of all those
who joined for the protection of our rights as individual domain name
holders.
Membership criteria is foolish to fight about with thousands of
people ready to take a few dollars and register your own domain name at
any time. This group should be comprised of those who care about the
furtherance of this issue, not those who can prove they spent $75 last
week for something they may not even use.
If this kind of abuse of the reader's rights persists, I would
recommend the creation of an invitation only list or group for the
creation of a platform and rules of engagement and operation. With this
established, as perhaps it should have been before starting the public
list, people can then know exactly what they are joining and where it is
going and not inadvertently get dragged into an endless exercise in
futility.
Once again, I challenge everyone to abstain from public displays of
embarrassing rage and concentrate on the purposes of the group's
formation. If that is not of sincere interest, then this is not the
right group for you, no matter how many domain names you may own. These
people should start a parallel list to accomplish their own goals and
let all who wish, follow them.
I welcome private rebuttal to these ideas but will not respond
publicly on this note in the future. I want no part in furthering a
useless exchange of words.

Very sincerely yours,
Karl E. Peters
