Agree 100% on with Bill, unless someone has something already cooked that
we can go behind, let's reach out to those experts, and hope some others
ncsg experts follow, thanks James !!! I am not an expert but I think the
topic is something different, new and concrete compared to other panels and
our usual work, worth for a try. So even if it is not my field I am more
than willing to fully support and engage.

If by the end of today we don't have any new opinions I say let's bring the
experts we have in our contacts. I know there is a civil society
cibersecurity approach to DNS!

Cheers,
Martin
