We have just finished a distribution of pr on behalf of ICANN. As a
member of ICANN we felt the membership base is unrepresentative of the
internet community.
We have identified the following groups of interested parties:
Small Business
Anarchists
Pornographers
Christian / Religious
Spanish / French
We've reached out to them and anticipate they will join us via remote in
Santiago.
We have also complained (unofficially) to Mr. Twomey's government.
Santiago 1999 - oley!
Regards
Jeff Mason
keeping the internet free of government - because we care ;-)
