Can you please tell me which involvement, in what capacity, and possibly 
substantiate this with any documentation in support?

I have been one of the "founding" members of CORE, in the sense that the 
company I was working for participated in the initial phases, and I attended 
in Tokyo the very first meeting of CORE, the one where the seat was 
established (BTW, I have been the one who insisted in voting right away for 
the seat, endorsing Geneva, when some orientation in CORE wanted to postpone 
the issue). I did not see either then, nor did I see them in the following 
months. I subscribed to the PAB list, and so read something from Kent (and 
confess that I appreciated him very much as a PAB Chair).
I was never involved in the IAHC, but have been the elected CORE rep in POC, 
its successor, so I should know. POC and CORE, even if on some basic issues 
were agreeing (for instance on the Registry as a public service) had 
different positions on several issues, and had different approaches (which 
is pretty logical, if you think that CORE was an association for business 
purposes, while POC was a policy oversight body, where CORE was represented, 
but other very different realities were represented as well).
I have also been for a while in CORE's ExCom, had access to each and every 
CORE document, and never found any mention of Kent or Dave, except for some 
reference to e-mail messages in the PAB list (public, though).

But without any doubt, you (that have never been part of either CORE or POC) 
know better than me all the details.
Well, the IAHC and its successor POC are out of the picture, CORE has 
evolved dramatically since those days in 1997, and this whole argument that 
we have had all these years along is now moot, but my single question stays, 
on a different list now but with the same simplicity: if you know something 
that I don't know about CORE, POC, and their secret plans to take over the 
world, please tell me, please show me one single document that proves any 
practical involvement of Dave Crocker and/or Kent Crispin in CORE.

If I have been blind and stupid, at least I would like to know ;>)

Regards
Roberto
