[ALSC-Forum] The activities of Joe Sims

[DannyYounger]

Pindar, you wrote:  "if this is all a song and dance then, shut it down and 
we can all go
home and stop wasting everyones time".

Perhaps you and/or other members of the Committee would care to comment on 
the activities of Mr. Joe Sims?  

As Mr. Froomkin wrote in today's Icannwatch column:  "I have little doubt 
that no lawyer for an organization would express views regarding the 
fundamental existence of his client to a major government agency unless he 
had at least cleared them in principle with his client."

As such views purportedly advocated the elimination of At-Large 
representation within ICANN, it's time to clear the air.  You, Esther, and 
Mike Roberts surely cannot claim to be in the dark regarding such efforts.  
You were tasked to coordinate with ICANN Staff on implementational details.  
Is this how you coordinate?  A joint plan to kill the At-Large?

What back-room deals are now being made?  What game are you playing at?  Why 
should we extend any further cooperation to this Committee?  Why should 
anyone trust the ALSC in light of this revelation?
