[ga] Re: [ncdnhc-discuss] Non Commercial Meeting

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

David and all,

  I personally thank you for this post in response.

As you are a self proclaimed IP attorney for seemingly large IP
interests in the Internet Name spaces/TLD's your clever response
here is desiring to work with the Non-commercial interests strikes
me and a number of our [INEGroup] members and their legal
representatives as at least a bit our of the ordinary in your position
with PIR.  We also find that making such statements or comments
to be of worrisome value if indeed the .ORG name space practice
of registration is unchanged from what it is now.  As we have seen
a number of the ISOC officials make reference to the registration
policy and practice in need of drastic change, along with a number
of ICANN BOD and staff members following suit in similar
statements and comments, we believe presently that your
statement below to be more of one to soothe such worries
before the more likely storm ahead...

  We will be watching closely and diligently in your activities
and the PIR's as well...
