Why I am not surprised that you use this line? I've sent you a 
separate mail 5 minutes before you wrote it - you might have received 
it by now...

Danny, I guess I have to repeat again - I can't speak on behalf of 
ICANN. When you ask me if I'd agree or not on something for ICANN, 
you will never get a response. Hope this is clear now?

I don't see a reason to confirm something which is there already. I 
don't doubt it. But then, in the USA they put signs on the coffees in 
McDonalds "hot coffee", after that lady sued the company and got some 
money for there was no such warning on the cup. So, I understand why 
you want explanations on every line. Perhaps the 2-page JPA would 
look then like a 20-page annex :-)
