Subject: advice of petition

I would like to bring to the attention of the names council the 
petition at
http://www.petitiononline.com/antiwls/petition.html

This 
petition is mention in the public forum at http://forum.icann.org/wls/
where 
there is much opposition to WLS

The task force report while recommending 
against the WLS does not indicate
the opposition by the general public that 
ultimately would have to live with
such a system.

In a less than two 
weeks almost 2300 people have signed this petition, most
of them the actual 
end users, those that should be consulted in any bottoms
up process.  It 
is also worthy to note that even amongst registrars there is
opposition to 
the WLS.

AS consideration is given to the task force report, I would also 
ask that
the public opinion and the large numbers that have signed in the 
short time
this petition has been available, be considered.
