As of late the GA list has been aflurry with claims of Staff censorship -- see http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/ga-200709/msg03163.html It is refreshing to see the new ICANN CEO respond to community concerns. One can only hope that going forward Rod Beckstrom will choose to engage himself in discussions on all of the lists in much the same manner as did Vint Cerf (whose contributions were always appreciated).
