> With respect to our last teleconference discussion, I
> wonder if you might pass along this note to Jeff Neuman as
> I don't have his email addy handy (and I believe it was
> with him that I had the exchange relating to his being a
> registrar before a registrant in terms of his livelihood
> and therefore overall perspective on the tranfer issue).
> I would like for him to know that I meant no disrespect,
> and that I do in fact consider his input (as well as that
> of all registrars/registries generally) as being valuable
> elements in the transfers discussion.  Much of my
> frustration stems from the glaringly lopsided nature of a
> framework that all of us must work within to hopefully
> effect some reasonable parameters for fair dealing while
> maintaining competitive market dynamics.  I know that many
> registrars have benefitted at the expense of the
> registrants and I would like to see the situation
> rectified as quickly and effectively as possible.  For the
> record, I want to clearly state that I am not oblivious
> (nor even unsympathetic) to the views of the registrar and
> registry communities.  However, I do think that more can
> be done to balance the scale.  The current processes
> simply do not provide for just and due consideration of
> the views or interests of the most important element in
> the DNS: the registrants i.e. those who finance the entire
> paradigm within which registrars and registries operate.
> Simply put, I'd like to see some initiative when it comes
> to effecting real improvements for the benefit of
> registrants from those who've benefitted the most.  Which
> is not to say that I begrudge anyone their livelihood,
> only that I hope such sentiment is reciprocated at some
> level and I'm seeking concrete indications to confirm that
> this is in fact the case.
