gosh I really hate to get involved in conversations like this but I must...

The call that you refer to was restricted to paid-up ICANN Accredited
registrars that are members in good standing of the Registrars
Constituency.

By definition the call was limited to a subset of all accredited
registrars. If you want to look at representative volume I'd say over 90%
of all domains registered by registrars were represented. Another way to
look at it is that over 90% of the RRP transactions generated by
Registrars were in attendance on the call.

I'd appreciate it if you and ross would get back to dealing with
subsinative arguments then these tepid distractions.

thanks,
