Re: [ga] Contract Verisign / ICANN and statuschange of dot org from unrestricted to restricted

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Bruce and all remaining assembly members,

Remember, ICANN is supposed to ADVISE DOC/NTIA on these matters....
This is what and why ICANN was formed.

This could result in a policy change from DOC/NTIA regarding .ORG
and .NET, should DOC/NTIA consider the ICANN BoD's recommendation
superior to the predominance of the stakeholders as a whole....
