I imply nothing. Its just that I know nothing about your company, its business objectives, global reach and staffing.
You're free to consult my BC membership application from several years ago. I just consulted my Google Analytics statistics for just one of our websites (out of 500), and it had visitors from 235 countries/territories last year, including Antarctica, Sao Tome and Principe, Nauru, Comoros, and Cocos Islands. However, we don't judge companies by the number of employees they have, or their "reach" or other metrics like that. We welcome the views of companies large and small in order to come up with balanced solutions that demonstrate that input has come from all stakeholders. The BC should be inclusive, and indeed if one has read my input to the mailing list (and on other ICANN-related mailing lists) over the years, we have pushed hard for that. That's why we've advocated for lower wasteful spending, lower membership fees, public mailing lists, an elected treasurer, public budgets, an elected secretary, etc. As this is my 3rd (and thus final) post for the day, I'm afraid I won't be allowed to post on this list again until tomorrow. But, anyone is free to send me direct email. Sincerely, George Kirikos 416-588-0269 http://www.leap.com/
