Petition to form a new ICANN constituency

[Nuno Garcia]

Avri. you are looking at both organizations the way they want you to.
Vodafone, as many other companies has a foundation that helps needed people,
and I'm pretty sure that you would agree that some salaries and benefits
from Red Cross executives can touch the limit of the obscene.

When you look under the hood, you may find out that the differences are not
that significative.

Please note, I'm not against companies having foundations or profits, nor
against Red Cross paying its employees, far from that. Its just that holding
a decision position may not be compatible with some naif points of view.

And I would say that our different points of view are quite clear by now on
this issue.

Best regards,

Nuno
