Dear Dave,

Trust me : i would have not vote for this 'big deal' and i would have not
probably be
alone ; because one of this actual BoT have refrained to participate to the
whole
discussion. I have not seen anywhere a mention of CoI (Conflict of
Interest) to justify...

...a simplest word to describe the situation around this 'big deal' is :
'apostasy'

Look, some of us have seen a 'Trust Anchor' break, day after day, and even
if you are
now convinced (that is your rights) by this number above, do you think that
others
SHOULD/MUST reach to the same conclusion while considering the same *now*
reaveled new information ?

...if it was me, i would have wanted to have that information earlier, to
not have to
waste my energy in strongly opposition to a 'fantastic' (FotI) Future of
the Internet
(Society ?). I may be wrong, though :-/

...i observe that : 'reasonable' seems to be a questionable word finally !

Questions :
•—
• Is it about $B ?
• Is it about money ?
• MUST i be convinced by the volume of the money proposed to me ?
• MUST i consider the rights of the existing non-commercial Internet
community or *only* those of the same type of community but not yet
connected to the Internet ?
• MUST i consider the rights of the poorest (*i'm proudly one of them *
*and i have a .ORG domain down and want to renew*) Internet users or
*only* those of the *Future* poorest Internet users ?

I'm sending this here because I'm sure most of the people on this list are

...probably, but not sure that it's for the same side i expect to hear that
conclusion.

...why not everywhere, including this list and the mentioned Board ?
In what this IGC mailinglist or that Board are differents ?

Thanks for your email.

Happy & Blessed week !

Shalom,
