Dear Staphane,

I don't think that there exist any hidden agenda to be pro ICANN or against
ICANN. The issue is that we, the technical people should have our opinions
voiced out and I can see the only way that we can achieve this is having a
common front. Nobody can deny that the open and transparent development of
the Internet has been possible thanks mainly because of the "Technical
People" and it is our duty to make sure that there is no diversion to this
"open and transparent future development" rule. The only way we can make
sure that this is the case is by being part of it, not outside.

Best regards

I seriously challenge the idea that there exists a "technical Internet
community". Technical people, like the others, are divided about
Internet governance issues. Not all of them support ICANN or would
write, without laughing, that is has "open and transparent bottom-up
development processes".

IMHO, the NRO should not engage into what really looks like pro-ICANN
political propaganda.
