Is this Open - NOT Re: [governance] IGF Workshop: DNS and Root Zone File Management

[Derrick L. Cogburn]

Dear Joe, 
 
As you now know, this was not true.  No one - including you - was banned
from attending the session.  I apologize for whatever glitch prevented
you from logging in initially under whatever name you wanted to use (an
applaud your tenacity in logging in under another name).  However, you
were able to log out, and log back in under your preferred name - Joe
Baptista - so you saw that you were not banned from participating. 
Thanks for your attendance. 
 
Cheers, 
Derrick

I just logged into this - and have discovered that my name Joe 
 
Baptista is banned from logging in.  Obviously the people behind this 
 
nonsense (Milton Muller??) do not subscribe in practice to the so called

 
open stakeholder participatio model they worship. 
 
 
Censoring people is not proper. 
 
 
regards 
 
joe baptista
