If this is ADNA's view of ISOC-AU's goals, it explains why this discourse
feels more like a territorial dispute than a reasoned exchange of views.

Now and for the record: ISOC-AU does not want to be the policy oversight
body for .AU.

Perhaps we once did; certainly we have the appropriate disinterest and the
appropriate focus to do so. On the other hand, we are well aware that we do
not represent all legitimate stakeholders.

If ADNA would show the same awareness, perhaps we might find that the two
bodies have more in common than your increasingly wildly-worded messages
would suggest.
