Excellent, Roeland!  Not everyone here is an ICANN expert, either, and
I've always tried to push the idea that the GA is really a cross-section of
all kinds of folks, some "Unix jocks," some attorneys, some whatever,
all of whom have things of value to contribute, which they can do more
readily if it is remembered that those whom they address may or may not
be members of that person's own particular field of work. (To help show
what all this ga list blather is all about anyway, I've added a couple more
links to my sig file, kindly supplied by Elisabeth Porteneuve.)

(I'm a trapped dial-in user: the Roads End region of Lincoln City, OR,
on Sprint lines, has no DSL capability. :-(  )
