[governance] USG on ICANN - no movement here

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Avri and all,

  From my and our members perspective is that the very best
thing that could be done by ICANN and DOC/NTIA to a lessor
extent, is to recognize fully that the user and user-registrant is king.
However ICANN's leadership refuses to take such recognition
in this light, as such they will continue to bread distrust and
disgruntelment,
and rightly so.
