[anti-abuse-wg] Some Facts for the Record

This is a good treatise on how outsiders see these 'so-called' community 
systems like ICANN and RIPE.
They come up with all these procedures simply designed to waste people's 
time so they can
drive them away.  this guy did extensive documentation of how it works:

http://hasbrouck.org/icann/

The people who promote these community systems like RIPE are either 
delusional
or, more likely, they have something to gain (either money, stature, or 
just the ability to tell others what
they can and cannot do).  Of course those people would just say there is 
something wrong with
Mr. Hasbrouck as well.

As for the current proposal, there is no legal review available to the 
community and it contradicts
the current blocking policy as far as the EU privacy claims so, if the 
process was legitimate,
it should not move forward until the legal review is complete and made 
available to the public.
Since the process is not legitimate I expect that won't happen.

Thank You
