Stef and all, As my original post to suggest a new DNSO organization touched off this discussion you can be assured that we would be greatly interested in participating in a truly OPEN DNSO process and believe that we have much to offer in that effort. The ongoing zero-sum games that the current DNSO at www.dnso.org seems to wish to continue to play are particularly unproductive and frankly questionable legally speaking. Please let me know privately what we can do to assist in using Richard Sexton's DNSO.COM domain for this purpose. Maybe Richard would volunteer to host the Mailing list for this more open and new DNSO Process.
