Re: [registrars] WLS - We don;t have this much input

[Jim Archer <jarcher@registrationtek.com>]

Hi Rick, this is a good and fair question.

I thing we should insist that we will only respond to a concrete proposal 
and refuse to comment on something that is not clearly articulated.  The 
last official proposal from Verisign was is what we should respond to and 
that came out some months ago.

Look how this has gone down...  They have us all debating an endless stream 
of "what ifs" which has been very distracting and draining.  It has 
effectively sidetracked the core issue.

We seem to have a situation now where the NC is going to invent a service 
and give sort-of favorable recomendation.  But what if Verisign decides to 
modify the service further?

This entire process has taken on the complexity of the Korean peace 
negotiations.  Have we decided on th shape of the table yet?
