Re: [ALSC-Forum] Re: Inconsistency with ALSC recommendations

[Eric Dierker]

Dear Mike,

This is what we in the USA call spin doctoring.  You are not good at it and
should hire someone from Hollywood to write you fictional material.

1.  Discussion by board;  Who cares as it was not public and shame on you for
admitting it.
2.  Workability; It is a total bullshit phrase and you know it and so do we,
perhaps you should get a grip and realize you are dealing here with the top five
percent educated people in the world.
3.  Expense;  the BoD and Staff remuneration is all that need be said about
expense.  Plus any able thinking creature would have factored these costs into
the contracts with Verisign and Afilias.  So I call you a liar on this point.
4.   ALSO;  Funny, who determined it would be a Support Org.?  Look at your
structure sheet.  You are cheating and not very well.
5.  Look at this;

""Presumably, the ALSO and its election committee, when established,
will revisit this type of tradeoff in light of the procedures it
chooses to adopt and the related budget considerations.  The ALSC
recommendation for a regionally based ALSO will also assist in
dealing with this issue.""?

Mike, Grow up, even if you get away with this, there are people like Danny and I
that will continue the cause.  Sooner or later we will get back every penny you
have received through these illegal schemes and lies that are outright.

Eric
