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

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

I absolutely do not see any opposition in our statements and questions.  I
appreciate your point of view and believe that no real conflict exists.  The
whole concept of capture really only relates to if you agree with the
position being espoused.

I don't see a current conflict in Alternatives and others.  As a person who
generally writes policy for projects involved in marketing I see great
potential in the two working side by side for varying reasons.

Truly this disclosure has developed into great enlightenment which is
helping all of us to see that ORS are not a boogey man at all but people
just like us dotcommoners.
Ignorance and bias are our only enemies, certainly not each other.

My groups favorite saying is "Education is Marketing and Marketing is
Education."

Sincerely,
