[NA-Discuss] icannalac.org website

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

As the Committee has been repeatedly informed, the situation is that  
anyone being paid by ICANN must have anything they post publicly  
approved via the GCs office.

It is also worth noting that the members of the committee have, and  
always have had, the ability to post themselves directly to  
icannalac.org. It was setup specifically so that all the committee  
members could maintain the content.
