[Chapter-delegates] NEWS RELEASE: Internet Society Calls for Conclusion of Agreement Between US Department of Commerce and ICANN

[Veni Markovski]

Just doubled check - as I stated in the beginnig - no one supported
the conclusion of the JPA. The congresswomand from Tennesee spoke one
note better about ICANN, but did not support the conclusion.
ISOC statement is about the conclusion; my initial email is about the
conclusion.

Desire made a comment that my email is wrong, so I reacted immediately
- as often happens people in the auditorium may hear one thing, but in
the case of the conclusion of the JPA - there was no support from the
congressmen, nor from the industry.

Which is a pity, given all suport coming from ISOC and ISOC chapters.

Veni
