RE: [wg-c] Thank you...

["Rod Dixon, J.D., LL.M." <rod@cyberspaces.org>]

I believe the task for Working Group C commenced nearly 10 months ago. A
short time in the lifespan of the TLD debates, for sure, but quite a long
time for those of us who joined the WG-C  last summer and have followed
along throughout that time. Since we are winding down business, may I offer
a thanks to Jon, who has performed wonderfully as our co-chair.

I would also like to express a personal thanks to everyone who participated
on the WG-C. This has been an enlightening experience for me as I have
observed and participated in this new and novel attempt at "Internet
governance." Our task was a difficult one. There were heated
debates/disputes. Some of us listened, and some just argued. But, perhaps,
most important, this genuinely democratic process demonstrated how a  group
can conduct an open and transparent proceeding even when the issues are
complex and the participants do most of the work in cyberspace.

Thanks,
Rod
