    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>
