[NA-Discuss] WHOIS study group...NA RALO weigh in?

[Thompson, Darlene]

Hi all,

I must say, I'm pretty new and I'm already cynical about the whole Whois
thing.  I'm not adamant on this in any way, but pretty much share
Wendy's POV that more studies are just going to prolong the agony.

Beau -

It would be awesome if we heard something new from new people. Perhaps 
that's where the studies need to be focused. The rest we can deal with 
through the GNSO Reform - term limits for councillors, making it easier 
to create new constituencies, etc.

It might even work out that we both get what we want :-)

Sorry for sounding so cynical on this point. It has nothing to do with 
you, Webwatch, the NA RALO, etc. and everything to do with the business 
user community having way too much influence over the process (via their

stranglehold on the IPC, BCUC and ISPC council seats).

best,
