There is no need to rush.  No one on this list agrees even on the
definition of the so-called "alternate" roots, let alone being able to
come to grips with a NC policy.

Kristy, please listen to what so many others are saying.  There is no
need to keep trying because this has been discussed time and again and
there is nothing left to discuss!

NO! I do not agree with this outrageous suggestion that there is any
need to have any accomodation between the ICANN root and the so-called
"alternate" roots.

The ICANN root can do whatever it wants.  The so-called "alternate"
roots can do whatever they want.  No communication necessary.

There is nothing to discuss here.  Please bring up something that needs
to be discussed.
