Thank you for sharing notice of these DNSO comparison pages on another
list. It's important to broaden our communication of the issues in play.

I guess the "reasonably neutral" qualifier must refer to the grey ribbon
gif (an advocacy position against ICANN's closed board meetings) and the
page sponsorship banner at the top (a common practice so you know where you
are in cyberspace.  See, for example, New York Times and C/Net).

In fact, neither of these affect the presentation of the DNSO applications,
which is unabiased and posted without personal comment.  The decision of
which column came first was a function of which text I initially received
first. Both proposals include their list of supporters as of the date the
applications were filed.

If I have somehow failed to accomplish neutrality, outside the two
qualifiers identified above, please let me know what changes you would
suggest.  While someone earlier referred to me as an "unpaid ICANN clerk",
I have no affiliation with ICANN except as an onlooker and potential
member. I posted these comparisons as part of an ongoing goal to
communicate and clarify DNS issues.  I will, however, cash any checks
anyone wishes to send my way.

Meanwhile, production of grey ribbon pins is underway.
