It most certainly is a membership meeting. Where do you get that it
isn't a membership meeting? It's the first membership meeting of the
constituencies. You think that because you say white is black, that
makes it true? You are God, and can change the meaning of words and
the colors of the rainbow at your will? You are like your friends in
ISOC: your mothers told you that you were the most wonderful little
boys in the world, and you, like fools, believed them.

This is obvious nonsense. A person is a non-commercial domain name
holder because he holds a non-commercial domain name. Again, you and
your ISOC friends have to try to rename the constituency (they have
tried alternately to call it "the non-profit constituency", the
"NCDNSO", and other things [see their website and listserv]),
because you aren't holders of non-commercial domain names. The usual
tactics of those trying to usurp what doesn't belong to them.

You are a CORE registrar and have no credible claim to membership in
the NCDNHC. While you are protected by the ICANN board that is
conspiring with you to pervert this process, you can laugh. But
whether you will have the last laugh remains to be seen.
