Indeed, I think I am still on the list. But I have no idea how long
that will last.

As I have said, I am not sure I believe that an IDNO needs to exist,
but if one *is* to exist, it really needs a different political
framework, and it needs to start fresh. I was frankly flabbergasted
when Joop called for my expulsion from the list after I had submitted
only a very few messages. But the actual removal of Kevin Connolly
is an act beyond comprehension -- multiple bullet holes in each foot..
In the interests of starting fresh, I would like to propose a
different approach to this: instead of trying to create an Individual
Domain Name Owners Constituency, why not try to convince ICANN to
give the General Assembly 3 seats on the Names Council? This would
still require establishment of a voting system and some structure to
the GA, but it would be handled within the DNSO itself.
