Re: [registrars] Update: Registrar Meeting

[kstubbs@digitel.net (Digitel - Ken Stubbs)]

hello josh...

in no way do i see this meeting diminishing the importance of the yokohama
meeting or as a dilution of effort here.

i don't particularly care for  the timing but most certainly  recognize the
importance of having it.

we are involved in a process with many other interest groups and, as such
are many times required to involve ourselves in somewhat impromptu
activities. invariably, in most  cases these are necessitated on us by
recent actions and events by other participants.

i am pleased though that you will be able to participate josh ...

ken stubbs
p.s. i would like to personally thank the parties involved in effecting this
meeting for their efforts
