hello out there

1. I too also recall that there was a strong consensus for fair hearing
panels and feel that we need to incorporate that into the process
2. on the other hand, stef seems to ignore the fact that CORE was
represented at the meetings at both Monterey and Barcelona as well as ORSC.
just exactly what do you propose stef , be done to "articulate" re:
prospective new gtld's. why don't you develop some verbage to incorporate
into the draft and let's deal with it.
3. who is the them you refer to as the "rightfully disenfranchised": please
elaborate on your proposed methodology to avoid this concern. how do you
propose this "public discourse" be accomplished?

heppy holidays
