Re: [ga] .ORG STRAW POLL

Joop, thank you for this hard work.  I would prefer that all the questions begin
"are you in favor of". I become squimish about counting how things feel.

I am not in favor of any contractual provisions which will have an effect one
way or the other on the integrity of the .org as it currently exists. (With that
said I do not believe they can, except in a staging for future debate manner.)
Any forewarning we can give to policy makers regarding altering the current
policy on .org should be of great assistance.
I am not in favor of any changes to .org.

Sincerely,
