RE: [registrars] VRSN NOC Tour

I agree.  This was not done very openly. Even if I were inclined to consider
it there is little or no time for me to get it to our legal dept. for
review. It makes me wonder if that isn't one reason for such a short notice.

Mike:

For the record I am very much against having to sign an NDA to attend a
reception; especially when there is less than 48 hours notice of the NDA
as a requirement before said reception.

In the future I suggest the excom not accept any such offers with the
requirement to sign an NDA.

I am disappointed that VGRS requires us to sign an NDA to attend the
reception, I view this as anti-competitive as the term of the NDA is for
3 years.

I dont think I will be able to comply with their new requirement and
probably won't attend their gathering as long as an NDA is required.

A text copy of the language in the NDA is reproduced below.

The text of the sample DNA, typed by hand as the PPT mike atached in his
previous note was an image... any typos are mine.
