If people on this list find it impossible to act like professionals (or even adults), perhaps it needs to be moderated.
 
I don't actually like this solution as I would think that a group like this shouldn't need it but a few in this group seem to require it.

Danny
I have to intervene here, this sort of rudeness and name-calling is totally
unacceptable in an environment such as this where a group of volunteers are
trying to work together to do something worthwhile.
Please curb your passion and make an effort to be civil and civilized in
discussion.
Sincerely
Jacqueline

Re:  no matter how you interpret the ICANN Bylaws
definition of an ALS, an individual doesn't fit into
it.

Vittorio,
Since it was you that served as the primary author of
the language responsible for the abomination known as
the ALAC, I understand your view that the
interpretation doesn't accord with your vision of the
At-Large as necessarily devoid of individuals.

In North America, however, we recognize a form of
organization known as the sole proprietorship. The
ALAC chose to discriminate against a valid North
American organizational form.

I recall when you used to be part of an effort on the
part of over 1000 individuals to properly organize the
at-large -- perhaps you remember icannatlarge.com?
But you chose to disregard the consensus view of the
broader community and implemented a plan (together
with those that had just eliminated all elected
at-large directors within ICANN) that had the effect
of denying individuals their due rights within ICANN.

You have become a traitor to the at-large movement.
Your recent comments are consistent with your lack of
regard for the community of individuals you pretend to
represent.  Enjoy your forty pieces of silver as you
take your next junket to an ICANN event.
