Re: [ga] New contracts

["Erica Roberts" <erica.roberts@bigpond.com>]

Following discussion today, it is clear that concern about the proposed
Verising/Icann contract extends well beyond the Registrars Constituency.  I
understand concerns were expressed by Gov representatives on the GAC and
that the GA list is similarly concerned.  This is one issue where there
appear to be a fair liklihood of achieving consensus supporting the 1999
agreement!
