Bob, I think you are a little confused. Pool.com is not a Registrar and never has been. It can not be a member of the Registrar Constituency. And the acquisition registrars we have are prevented from being members of the constituency by the bylaws. I believe you advocated the changes to the bylaws that prevent registrars owned by the same entity from being members.

Connelly Sent: Monday, July 30, 2007 2:00 AM To: Registrars Constituency; RC Voting Members Subject: RE: [registrars] Dues of $750 with "forgiveness" for those who choose to pay $250.

Rather, when an open call went out for a simple letter to ICANN by some Registrars, we supported it with everything we had. Dear Rob: 2007 is the current year. In a court of law, this kind of act would be ruled a "common law marriage". BobC
