OK, so as you wrote, Nick, if one failed to follow the new rule at the first implementation, then that's it? I don't know the details of how Wendy and Amex communicated, and as a professional business Amex or whoever usually defends against some allegation, and I have no interest in judghing which party is right or not. The simple point is - are there any way to make this participation possible or not? I understand your frustration, Nick, but that is your work to make sure things work. As for travel policy, I appreciate your effort to implement the first one after more than four years. But we have been requesting this and there was no "comment" period, but just given one way and you said this is better than the previous one which is mostly true, but that does not mean the new system works automatically. I see your language sounds a bit too emotional. (mine, too, perhaps) Please be cool. Let's do the work. Be happy, be flexible and please do not make victims. And meet all at San Juan. izumi 2007/6/13, Wendy Seltzer <wendy@seltzer.com>:
I have no interest in making this travel policy discussion into a he-said she-said debate (but that's included below for the prurient). I do have an interest in asking ICANN to apply its policies fairly, which includes being flexible with newly implemented policies.
The open question remains: will ICANN see its way to ensuring that both North American ALAC members are able to participate on the ground in San Juan, or not?
