Bruce, thank you for your clarity in distinguishing between the two issues that are associated with the draft resolution. The first, as you say, is the allocation mechanism by which market-savvy registrars obtain valuable deleted names for re-sale. The second, is the means by which these are sold to new registrants and the resulting profit share. I agree these are two issues. I am less convinced that the first only is an issue that needs investigating and that all is well with respect to the second. I, and I guess fellow Council members, would like to learn more about that second issue. What is the best way we achieve this learning? I had thought that an issues report might be the mechanism but I am open to suggestions. Philip
