NTIA has told Congress exactly the opposite that they have no position on the membership model.

It's not just the Board; it was clear to me from Larry's remarks that the
NTIA will not buy into a member model either. And if they aren't buying
into it, it will not happen.

Cheers.

I wish I had been able to attend the face-to-face meeting.

Were the Board able to be any more clear as to why they insist on the
community giving up on the idea of having at least a single member?
