Re: [ga-rules] Agenda GA-RULES Mailing List

["William S. Lovell" <wsl@cerebalaw.com>]

Patrick:

I see 1 as being not narrow, rules-related issues, but rather
of GA wide concern, hence more appropriate on ga, or
perhaps better on ga-icann.  The same may apply to 6.
As to 1 again, those seem not to be rules-oriented issues
as to how a thing is to be carried out, but rather policy issues
as to how we could get them covered in the first place.

Don't be negative and say "lack of confidence." Instead,
say "confidence building."  :-)
