Again - we do not have to be that delicate in setting up these boundaries and let ICANN and the Registries know where we stand. It's OK to stand firm on what we will and will not accept as a unified group of Registrars protecting our present and future financial situation. We should not be the "whipping boy" all the time but act as professionals leading our industry thinking. I do not let this happen in my business and I know that most of you don't let it happen in yours......so let's not let it happen period.

Let's set some new rules of engagement and boundaries.
Agreed - but we should approach this as a longer-term issue that isn't likely to help us resolve our current pickle. -- -rwr "Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions.
