Hi all, I must say, I'm pretty new and I'm already cynical about the whole Whois thing. I'm not adamant on this in any way, but pretty much share Wendy's POV that more studies are just going to prolong the agony. D Darlene A.

Ross, I'm not so anxious to pick up torches, but there are new people coming on board in the NA RALO community who don't have the benefit of your years of experience as a senior executive at a registrar dealing with this issue, so that's why I posted this here -- in hopes of hearing something from new faces in the room, groups representing users, consumers, etc.
Beau - It would be awesome if we heard something new from new people. Perhaps that's where the studies need to be focused. The rest we can deal with through the GNSO Reform - term limits for councillors, making it easier to create new constituencies, etc. It might even work out that we both get what we want :-) Sorry for sounding so cynical on this point. It has nothing to do with you, Webwatch, the NA RALO, etc. and everything to do with the business user community having way too much influence over the process (via their stranglehold on the IPC, BCUC and ISPC council seats). best, /ross ------ NA-Discuss mailing list NA-Discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/na-discuss_atlarge-lists .icann.org Visit the NA-RALO Wiki at https://st.icann.org/naralo/ ------
