Re: [ga] Top Level Domain Association - NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST

[Eric Dierker <ERIC@HI-TEK.COM>]

As long as we all agree these are just positions to be discussed, that it is a
developing concept. Then I agree with this line of logic completely.

I am having trouble with combining anything in the existing structure.  What I
believe is that for now if we just get every existing (and developing as in the
IDNH Const.) up and running then we can adapt from there.  Its hard to find
leaks until you fill the pipes with water.

The GA is making great strides toward being a truly functional body and the IDNH
is on the Horizon, and whether I like the study delay or not, there is progress
in the @large.

No one has convinced me that the structure is bad, it is just that we have been
having a hard time implimenting it.

Sincerely,
