In its typical (curt and arrogant) fashion, ICANN has blown off the letter sent to ICANN by Ron Andruff, Marilyn Cade, Olivier Crépin-Leblond (on behalf of the ALAC Leadership Team), Alan Greenberg, and Evan Leibovitch.

In its final actions on the GAC Advice, and after having considered the GAC Advice and community input, the NGPC did not adopt your Policy Advisory Board model proposal. . . ."
