All, I am a big supporter of the DNA. However, given the request from the CSG to allocate some hours to conduct regular constituency/SG business, do we have the time for this on the weekend. Perhaps during the open meeting on Wednesday would be better? Jeffrey J.

It this the initiative that runs the website whatdomain.org<http://whatdomain.org>? I tried to find out who is behind it on the website, but could not find any information at all.

The Domain Name Association (DNA) is a new non-profit global business association that represents the interests of the domain name industry and it describes its mission as being to: "Promote the interests of its members by advocating the use, adoption, and expansion of domain names as the primary tool for users to navigate the Internet." Please indicate any interest, lack of interest or neutrality on this. Thanks, Jonathan
