Hi,

I want to repeat what I have said may times before:  The issues we are
talking about when we talk about  the community powers are much larger
than the GNSO and its micro subdivisions and in fact have little to do
with its particular policy making area.  To map the community powers to
the policy structure makes no sense and only a minority seems to think
it does. 

I do not understand why we are walking away from consensus based
position we had reached that allowed us to finish our work in some
predictable.  This path down the rat hole has lead us to a dead end
before.  What makes anyone think we will not be repeating that?
