Re: [ga] Poll: WLS -- yes or no?

["Dr. Daniel Carras" <akadhmia@deltard.org>]

------begin poll-------------------------------
Name: Dr. Daniel Carras

As a member of the DNSO General Assembly, I:

   Am in favour of the WLS   [X]
   Oppose the WLS            [ ]
   Abstain from WLS vote     [ ]

Brief Reasons: I, who have a small developing isp service, have had no problems with
Verisign or setting up a viable competition model. Any problems that have arisen have been
dealt with, usually within two business days.
