RE: [wg-c] Motion to Postpone

["Cade,Marilyn S - LGA" <mcade@att.com>]

I followed these negotiations very closely, as an outside observer, since we
are a competitive registrar in waiting, ( :-); I was pleasantly surprised by
many points, and we are analyzing it thoroughly, of course. But there are
some significant and unexpected changes which do seem useful to analyze for
the purposes of this group's work.

Hi Dave,
	I think I agree with you that it is the most likely outcome.
However, as there are so many TLD-owner-wanabees out there, the whole
process has dragged along like crazy. Now it is quite clear (at least to me)
that TLDs are *not* going to be "given away". As we now have a distinct
position on that, it would seem that we CAN finally move forward.

Yours, John Broomfield.
