RE: [registrars] Important Information on IDN!

Jim,

You may be an ICANN accredited registrar but you are crossing a line that
no other registrar has crossed to date.

the "information" is just marketing fluff and I'd appreciate it being kept
off this list. I also want to make it completely clear to anyone else that
posting any type of marketing literature directed at other registrars is an
unacceptable practice for this list.

I read it, passed to several IDN draft authors for their review and we all
came to the same conclusion. I don't want to debate you here on your
selection of technology or any of that, we would just appreciate you not
marketing Neteka to the rest of the registrars, that is not what this list
is designed for.

sense cluttering more mail boxes with you -vs- me on the mailing list
etiquette here.
