[At-Large] [Gnso-liaison] Is Staff in bed with NetSol?

[JFC Morfin]

Dear Danny,
for nearly eight years I know you, I do not know if you have proposed 
the text of a motion. I wander what is really your target: you are an 
informed hard worker, and sometimes extremely good, on occasions 
really brillant. However, I am afraid that instead of helping the 
community and ICANN you are fighting both. I opposed you a lot when 
you were GA Chair because you wanted to be the GA by your own and 
speak by yourself on our behalf - not because your positions were 
wrong (just sometimes, at that time, sophomore's positions - but that 
time is gone). Then you were not really fighting, but not helping us 
either with the IDNA and ICANN-alarge.

Could we not reach a modus vivendi, where we (you and ALAC) mutually 
take advantage from the other, fight together for the users, rather 
that you fighting the ALAC. ALAC is not a democratic representative 
of the users, but certainly a sample of their most motivated ones. If 
you/we do not teach them, how do you want them to know?
