that making changes without appropriate notice and discussion is a bad thing. PIR should have raised this topic for discussion during the meeting in KL, and at least scheduled a teleconference.
Each hiccup is a gift to the competing .net bidders. IMHO, provisioning, and the parties who provision, isn't usefully identified with publication. Provisioning isn't "whois", any more than escrow. If it is, then the role of registrars (and registries) in making policy is going to be much, much less then the IPC's role. Let that camel into the tent and they may get very creative ... Eric
