Dear Jean-Jacques,

JE SUIS
JEFSEY

your questions are highly politcally incorrect 
and only reflect the ICANN totalitary spirit!

They reflect the idea that an ALAC member can be 
sensored on this list. And that to send a mail on 
the list one must first obtain an approval

obtained through a democratic process or .... "elsewhere".

>- Was this submitted to regular review and 
>approval, or is there a separate decision to 
>grant this as a permanent authorization (date, reference)?

after being reviewed and approved - except in the 
case of a pre-1789 special priviledge.

I am afraid you do not evaluate the Narten Express correctly
.
This is not a metric ***tool***: you do not have 
a received a script to do it by yourself with your own secret parameters.
This a ***service*** provided by Thomas 
permitting you to have your own metric tool without an effort.

Thomas has chosen - his liberty - to tell us his 
weekly opinion on the list through this service. 
He could have chosen to send us a long mail with his comments.

The catenet's cyberagora system by the internet 
technology is low grade for a simple reason : it 
lacks myriads of self operated services like 
Thomas' one. Some to bring others information, 
others to remove oneself from that services' lists.

However, the problem is not with Thomas, it is 
with the ICANN centralization culture, which 
depends on, but also calls for the IETF 
centralization in spite of the Subsitiarity 
Principle and RFC 6852 on innovation by competition.

I never was able to determine if this was about a 
Google or an ICANN clone. I will support you 
worry about Thomas the day you campaign against whois!

Take care!
