the registrars execs are scheduled to give presentations before the GA and
the gTLD registries, we make have other presentations to give and just
because many may not attend DNSO meetings several of us have
responsibilities durring those times.

a dinner, would be a great socal time but would not be condusive to ealing
with the complex issues we have to deal with.

we are considering many options; it would be good to know who would be
available on sunday for a registrars meeting; it sounds like ross would
come but rob would go to the verisign registrars event, right?

we need to hear from more registrars so we can understand what to schedule
for.

I think we should also start investigation the use of online decision
making tools and a Registrars only meeting in the US next year, just some
thoughts I personally wish to develop.
