Oh well, I guess that we better do what Milton and the Numbers community are telling us to do.
For what it's worth, I think that needlessly personalizes this issue. Milton is arguing strongly, but the numbers proposal has been around for months and the names community elected not to put forth a position inconsistent with it. If CWG now wants to ask that something inconsistent with what ICG has published be the path we follow, nobody should be surprised that it would create some trouble.

If what you mean by that is, "The march of time and CWG's low engagement with the numbers community proposal between January and June (because of other higher priorities) means that certain options are now foreclosed, and we might not like the remaining ones," then I think you did understand.

It seems to me that, before asking for legal advice on how to do something, one ought to be clear about what one wants. I agree with you, however, that a separate trust appears to me (and I speak only for myself) would satisfy the requirements in the ICG proposal out now, and might be a way forward. Perhaps we should spend some time kicking around what a good trust arrangement would look like to the CWG. Best regards, A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@anvilwalrusden.com
