believe that I should organize an individuals' constituency as a
counterweight to IDNO. I believed (up until I found myself purged, about
half an hour ago) that while I had differences with some of the members
here, it was in the best interest of the Internet that we work together to
advance the empowerment of individuals with respect to the internet.

I take responsibility for taking your name down from the website, Kevin.
I did so after your posting to dnso.org where you stated that in your view
our IDNO had almost no legitimacy left.
You also stated that we identified ourselves with Iperdome (?) and NSI.
Extremely damaging and unsupported statements.
(Indeed it looked like you were positioning yourself to organize a
constituency as a "counterweight to IDNO".)
I presumed that you were giving up your membership of our illegitimate
organization.
Are you?

If not, I will put your name back on forthwith, and with apologies for
misreading your intentions.

Do I read that correctly then, that you no longer want to be a member.
