We're supposed to come up with our position within 35 calendar days following the initiation of the PDP.

Dear Registrars: Let me bring to your attention the "Outcomes Report of the GNSO ad hoc group on Domain Tasting" dated 4 October 2007. You will find it at the following URL: http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/gnso-domain-tasting-adhoc-outcomes-report-final... Perhaps you have not read it all yet. There are a dozen dozen pages, 12*12, 144 --- I call that "Gross". That's a lot of pages generated just as a preliminary study --- before even starting the PDP:-( I shall write further on this subject. I just thought I should end this preliminary by a quotation from a dear old friend of mine.
