I agree with the current version of the Minority Report. I appreciate that you have softened the language opposing the Clearinghouse and clearly stated the issues we see with it. I have never agreed with the concept of the URS allowing for a transfer of the domain name but will not oppose that stance by the BC. Very much appreciate all the hard work that has gone into this report. It is obvious that a lot of hard work has gone into this.

I also include Zahid's version 1.0, which I have edited drastically due to focus, length and repetition. He has not had a chance to review my version 2.0 yet, either, as he is hopefully asleep right now. Margie, this is tentative, subject to modification upon formal review of our membership, but Zahid and I believe it represents consensus of the BC. We ask you to please hold it, and do not submit the Initial Report to the Council, until at least 3pm PST today, to allow our members the chance to offer comments to me and Zahid, for possible further editing today.
