Don,

Thank you for the clarification.

My advice is that if you want accuracy, all you have to do is to be as
transparent as you are asking us to be. That way we can be accurate. Quid
pro quo. Tell us who of the IFWP/DNSO players work for NSi and who are
those for whom you have paid plane tickets to the IFWP/DNSO meetings during
the last year. Tell us what organizations you subsidize. There will be no
accuracy problems after that.

I find preposterous that you should be the one to talk about lack of
objectivity, when you put the interests of one single company above the
interests of almost 200,000,000 internet users.  

So far, all that any member of this committee has done is to put in place
the structures of the Names Council and the working groups for open
participation and assuring that all voices are heard. I understand that you
might see this structure as lacking objectivity, as its operability goes
against you interests, but few other people will understand it the same way.

Javier
