RE: [ALSC-Forum] RE: Sims/EU development -- CALL TO ACTION/PLEDGE

[Esther Dyson]

Excuse me, Judith. I tried to do that once (correct errors with you), and 
got nowhere.....  Even though the record was clear - that I had referred 
negatively to an idea  (making alternative TLDs illegal) rather than 
"advocating" it - you did not correct your reporting.   You *may* 
eventually have published my objection, but frankly I do not know..... I 
gave up trying.
