Agreed.  As you will have noted from the agenda for the next NC meeting, I
will be proposing a response for consideration by the NC .

I think your comments re .net and .org are very much to the point and should
b reflected in amendments to the NC business plan .
I would like to see the proposed .net and .org TF tasked with preparing a
policy options paper which:
(i) identifies the key issues and the options avbailable ;and
(ii) will provide a clear focus for further discussion and consultation on
the issue.
