Hello Patrick,

On the basis of the above, we have formed the IDNO constituency.
We could certainly use your support..
********
I would like to add that as elected spokesman for IDNO I would like to
endorse your letter for the whole IDNO membership (93 members at this moment)
With one factual correction: I did not have the privilege to be booted off
the NC teleconference. Due to the time difference, I had not received
adequate notice, it happened while I was asleep and when I checked my email
in the morning (NZ time) it was all over.

--Joop Teernstra LL.M.-- , bootstrap of
the Cyberspace Association,
the constituency for Individual Domain Name Owners
