[NA-Discuss] I'm voting against changes to the NARALO Rules

[Marita Moll]

I agree with the changes. I don't think they are onerous. Yes, timing is 
sometimes an issue with ICANN and perhaps this could have been better 
timed. But in the end, I doubt that it would have resulted in much 
change. The team worked hard on this -- i was not part of it. I think 
they did a pretty good job.
