Folks let me say this:<br>
1. Milton, you were not supposed to publish it! I needed to edt it
to reflect the new status of it being a minority report, and also no
mention of JF Baril<br>
2. We need to be sure I am correct. IF they are right and i have
misread the report, then I look like an idiot. <br>
3. Most of the report is still concensus. AS I think I said in the
3 pager, recently, certain principles put everything slightly out of
balance....<br>
Sheesh. Can they bann me from ICANN?<br>
ON a positive note, I must say your blog is well read Milton, I got
a sweet note from Mikey. I guess he knows what I feel like right
now...<br>
cheers steph<br>
