Re: [registrars] Registrar Agenda - Budget

["Erica Roberts" <erica.roberts@bigpond.com>]

I suggest we also include on the agenda a report from the Registrars NC
reps.
Key issues on which feedback/guidance fwould be useful from the  Registrars
constituency include:
1.  The DNSO review;
2.  The proposal to develop a DNSO business plan and seek input from the
constituencies on key objectives for the next 12 months, etc.
3.  Funding the DNSO/Names Council Secretartiat.
