RE: [registrars] telecon

["Michael D. Palage" <michael@palage.com>]

Rob:

As I stated earlier to Elana, this is primarily for the benefit of those
smaller registrars that do not have travel budgets and which were not in
Stockholm.  I understand that you share some concerns raised by Elana on
this issue, but I respectfully must move forward unless there is significant
push back from other registrars in the constituency.

Recently some people have raised constructive comments about my plate
overflowing and that it is difficult to get everything done. Respectfully,
the problems arise when certain registrars ask for special treatment. Case
in point. I wasted three hours of my time attempting to reschedule the
Registrar meeting last week to the afternoon. This involved interfacing with
ICANN, the local event planners, etc.

The registrar constituency spoke in Stockholm and the message was move
forward now not latter. This message has been reinforced by numerous emails
that I have received this week. Therefore, I will respectfully keep the
teleconference scheduled for Friday. The exact time will be set within the
next hour.

Thanks again for your comments but I believe the totality of the
circumstance argue in favor of moving forward.

Best regards,

Mike
