I understand that a number of registrars have been served over the last 24
hours - I think that we should start considering whether or not a joint
defence is appropriate. This is obviously not an appropriate place to
undertake a discussion of this nature - perhaps a private teleconference
between those that have been served is in order?

I have no problem organizing this, however I would ask that all replies come
back to me off-list. Its my hunch that sooner is probably more appropriate
than later.

Thanks,
