Despair not!  After the elections are held you'll see lots of lovely fresh
faces around the place willing and able to steer your morgue list below and
many others to policy fruition.

The registrars must be able to identify, discuss, implement and enforce
their own policies.  The drive to do that should be that there are larger
"industry development" goals that work in tandem with legitimate commercial
imperatives and fair play.

Perhaps you should put on the agenda for the meeting in Uruguay all of the
issues below + Erica's and we can work towards some completion of ones that
have been on the list for too long and deal rationally with the new ones?

Dear Erica:

I despair of any policy proposed by this constituency ever seeing the light
of day.  Let's look at our "morgue" of abandoned policies:

Code of Conduct
Best Practices
Warehousing
Data Escrow

Why put good time after bad if ICANN is not going to enact any of our
proposals.

I don't think I am cynical, I think I'm finally becoming a realist.
