[ncdnhc-discuss] Re: [atlarge-discuss] Trashing Our Founding Principles

[James Love]

I agree with Danny that those involved in the at large organizing effort
should speak out  on the current ICANN reform proposals.  Earlier much was
made of the "go forth and multiply" statement, which allowed some to believe
this was still possible.     The current reform proposals continue the
allusion of some possible at large, but only for the most gullible, and only
because  they have avoiding providing useful detail of how the NomCom is
constituted.
