RE: Mr. Sernovitz

For the record, please note that Mr. Metzger is still spending his time on 
personal attacks on me and my organization.  Please note the subject line 
of this message.

I am irrelevant, as is my organization.  We are supposed to be discussing 
domain name policy.

He has still not responded to straightforward questions about the iPOC and 
IANA's role.

P.S.  Being opposed to the gTLD-MoU is not an indication that a person is 
in favor of NSI.  Are all people who question the MoU supposed to be part 
of some giant NSI conspiracy, or just me?  Please note that our web site 
also contains many position papers published by IAHC and the iPOC, or at 
least links to them.

What is really amusing about Andy Sernovitz is the attack tactics he
uses. I mean, here is someone who spends half his time attacking me
and Dave Crocker personally, often using extremely insulting terms. He
also tries to turn the debate away from substance and towards "Dave
and Perry are awful humans" sorts of things as much as possible. He
also spends lots of time crowing about how he's giving the opinion of
a big industry group with hundreds of members.

However, when someone tries to discuss the substance of the issue at
hand -- whether the MoU's system of competitive and open registration
is better than the NSI monopoly Mr. Sernovitz's organization is
lobbying to preserve, we are told that this is "refusing to answer the
questions".  Anyone pointing out that the member companies of his
organization are very unhappy with the position the organization is
taking, and that his organizations "independent" position papers
mostly seem to be authored by NSI employees, this is called "getting
personal" with Mr. Sernovitz.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice this.
