Meanwhile, time marches on....
While you guys figure out all the nuances of forming a committe, some of us
are actually doing something, like writing to ICANN, the DoC, the DoJ,
Congress, etc.  While I make no claim that this will be more effective than
your WG (once you finally make one) I will say it once again: "Just DO it"
is not just a Shoe Commercial.
