Indeed I did.

Personally, in spite of what others may think, I like Joe Sims. He's
somewhat lacking in finess, I think his heart's in the right place and he
was the right person, at the right time to get ICANN going. Things perhaps
now have changed.

As to what the hell he's doing in Europe (if that's where he is) it disturbs
me. If there are discussions then why are they between just US and European
interests?

When is he coming to Asia?

For goodness sake Danny, do you just sit around and air questions to create
FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt)

Your other  postings are detailed and great -- so I think let's try to focus
ok?

Focus on the At Large, and get things moving.

Are you volunteering to lead as you have done in the GA? If so, do it....

lead... but do something.

Don't trust the ALSC, trust yourself.

Respectfully, try to do something contructive Danny to move things along...
