                <br>
                I am sorry but I will not prioritise any of these
                recommendations. This is purely an ICANN thing to
                prioritise things which are all important, for the sole
                purpose of demoting the importance of some of the
                recommendations because let's face it, that's exactly
                what we are doing.<br>
                There are 12 recommendations; ICANN is purporting to be
                a world class organisation... and it needs to have a
                committee help it throttle the rate at which these
                recommendations are implemented?<br>
                For this reason, and I apologise for this, I shall not
                fill the doodle poll. <br>
                Kind regards,<br>
