Re: [ga] Domain Transfers

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

This post is very helpful and insightful.

If I work on this TF i will incorporate such ideas and WXWs and Kristy's and I
will encourage them here and report every few days here.  I will forward these
to one of our sublists.  Only for ease of research and contribution, as a case
specific archive.

I am learning that we can still create a proper forum.

John and WXW do you have a reality check on these multilingual problems.  You
point out appropriate problems.  Would you care to be held up to ridicule for
some appropriate (experimental solutions)?

Please continue to contribute.

Sincerely,
Eric
