Re: [[dnsproc-en] new math]

This is a well-reasoned, properly toned email.
However, it shouldn't have the circulation it 
has.

We, meaning those of you who are willing to lead,
need to develop a consensus, with as little 
irrelevant discussion as possible.  I am aware 
that this is highly relevant and important to a
few; but to the bulk of us, it is irrelevant and 
distracting.  It should be aimed at those who care;
a rifle shot as opposed to a shotgun blast.  In 
other words, lead or get out of the way!

We are not going to be taken seriously by the courts
if we cannot focus and agree (as I said before, 
everyone equally unhappy, everyone with their 
feelings hurt equally).

To achieve this focus, we need to limit broadcasts
to matters of general importance, and give up as 
much as we can (and endure as much as we can) in 
the interests of unanimity and harmony.  Otherwise
we won't provide believable leadership, and all
nations will find their own, divergent solutions.

In that case we all lose big-time.

This in no way is intended as a negative on what 
we CAN achieve, it is only a concern about actually
achieving anything if we continue to look so divided
and contentious.

In response to a previous post which accused WIPO of being biased because
it didn't agree with the poster that the rate (and number) of dn/tm
conflicts is decreasing, I note the following.

On March 11, 1997, NSI stated that it was registering 3,000 DNs a day (see
press release at internic.net).

In its most recent 10Q, NSI stated that it had registered 507,000 DNs for
the 90 days trailing Sept. 30, 1998, which gives a rate of 5,630 DNs a day
(see quote.yahoo.com (ticker symbol NSOL).

The poster stated that NSI reported 1 in 600 DNs leading to a request for
dispute resolution previously, and 1 in 1000 now.  I can't verify these
numbers but assume they are true for these purposes.

If the 1 in 600 number is accurate for March 1997 that would yield 5 new
complaints a day (every day).

If the 1 in 1000 number is accurate for Sept 1998 that would yield 5.63 new
complaints a day (every day).

So I would say that the rate of DN/TM conflicts (at least those reproted by
NSI) is increasing and the absolute number of DN/TM conflicts is increasing
(at least until the spam attack hit).

I am not an unbiased academic scholar so check my math.

These calculations lend no light on whether Taft is JW or who shot JR or
who paid for Richard Sexton's drinks and therefore are probably off-topic.

p.s. I guess NSI's January numbers are shot - buying opportunity for NSOL?
