[NA-Discuss] FW: [At-Large] NomCom review

[RJGlass | America@Large]

Danny,
Let me clarify, since you are tactlessly calling me out.

1) I am not an "individual functioning as an ISP."  My company is not an
ISP.  I haven't marketed or dealt with ISP services since dialup.

2) I am not nor have been a reseller for register.com

3) At-Large has never been a marketing vehicle for me or anything related to
me.

4) I manage a portfolio of well over 900 domains, some of which are
currently using monetized parking pages.  None of which is any concern of
yours.  If you would like to lease one I'd happily refer you to my agent.

5) There is no requirement to post minutes, archives, or anything else not
required by the initial application.  All requirements have been
substantiated.

6) If you have a problem regarding lack of contribution within my membership
base then why dont you get involved?  Some people, for reasons apparent
here, prefer not to present their views as publicly as I do.

7) AmericaAtLarge is a valid nonprofit organization, currently applying for
501c3 status - which is not a requirement of ICANN.

8) As a nonprofit, I can also sell T-shirts and coffe mugs in order to
generate operating capital.  Any suggestions?

9) Finally, you are out of line.

Your tone toward this discussion does not warrant further explanation,
although I would like to.

So, should we dig into your background and reasons for being here now??
