was attempting to respond to Philip and inform the list of one charter
refinement that I am aware of as a member of the noted Work Team (i.e., all
votes belong to the Constituency). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>While
I didn't intend to strike a nerve it appears I did, and thus you force me to
point out that your response to the list about your voting is contrary to the position
you took at the GNSO Council meeting in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seoul</st1:place></st1:City>,
which is a matter of public record.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
last point that must be addressed is that many of the BC members are small
business owners like myself, who personally foot the bill to attend a 7-day
ICANN meeting three times per year, so I take umbrage with your comment: <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>“…so that everyone has a fair chance to
comment, and not merely those who have the luxury of attending every ICANN
meeting</span></i>.” The luxury goes to those whose trips are fully
paid, including our councilors; not to those of us who pay from our own pockets
to participate in ICANN. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
