60 voted in favor of moving forward with PI. 6 voted against.

Wow, 10 to 1. Amazing.

Even more amazing: 60 people who represent nobody but their own paycheck get to blow up the internet.

Where is ICANN when you need it? This little experiment in playground democracy has to end before people get hurt.

Wow, Iljitsch, I have never lost so much respect so quickly for someone who was not flaming a specific person or using profanity. Congratulations.

Back on topic, it is not just those 60 people - the "playground" appears to overwhelmingly agree with their position. I know I do.

I am sorry your technical arguments have not persuaded us in the past. But I would urge you to stick to those, or at least consider why we remain unconvinced, rather than devolve into .. whatever that post was supposed to be.
