Re: [ga] Call for a Working Group

["Christopher Ambler" <cambler-dompol@iodesign.com>]

It is to note that Dave is employed by NeuStar, and as such, has
a vested interest in preventing such a working group, as his
employer is a partner in the new .BIZ registry, the suggested
topic of this working group. It is my belief that such an interest
calls his arguments into question, at a minimum.
