ADNA seems to have failed. Yes, shall I - yet again - explain why. ADNA is a private company with a membership process limited to those who partake with the common flavour of the other members for that month. ADNA is not open to the public and does not receive and review public comment, nor is it open to public debate. Kate has already accused me of "single handedly destroying" the ADNA process. Forgive me but if a corporate entity with board members who each have very significant interests can't handle one small voice like mine, it had no integrity to start with. I'm glad Robert, you have, in fact, made the statement that you feel ADNA has failed. I guess the downhill run commenced with Stephen Baxter resigned from the board after being hounded for 48 hours on the list about putting forward an agreement that whilst he is a representative on ADNA his company would not partake in any Domain Name related commercial venture. He Resigned because he made clear in three posts that he would not jeopardise the interests of his company. As a company director should ensure. Resigning from the "no pay" ADNA board was his personal interest protection. I actually have respect for Stephen for being bold enough to resign in such a public manner. >I don't know when more information about it will become available (nor Probably not in a hurry. >nothing at all about how to attempt to discover or build consensus, so Build consensus implies you - at least - will listen to the comments of all interested parties. I respect that. I hope I'm not let down. >participating in that is likely to be a waste of time - when it comes to Possibly. Althugh if ADNA opens itself to the PUBLIC, in a public manner, then I can assure you progress will be considerably faster and far more supported. Golly, even *I* will back ADNA from the point of view of Public Interest. With the number of complaints I've been getting about ADNA and it's lack of public concern, I'd like to be able to tell people to relax and all will be well. >actually discussing DNS policies, there I might have some opinions to offer). Robert, I think it's fair to say we all appreciate your comments. SOmetimes we have to play political games to get an answer - but polcieis and politics go hand in hand. Especially when the Public interest is concerned. I should mention there will shortly be a new member applying to the ADNA board. The person will be a representatie of the Australian Internet and Telecommuncation Users Association. I can only assume there will be no cause for rejection, considering the membership is VERY STRONG. Whilst you guys have been bantering around trying to discredit me, I've been building up public interest. And HAVE I been receiving email on it the last month. Ahh but let me guess - you'll want to see this data too. Well rest be assured, once the web site is created and found itself a home, the membership details will be presented for you. Currrently only members are permitted to see the records. (Come on Lincoln and Rick - lets get off track again.
