The press release says:

> Dengate Thrush's
>appointment to Working Group A will focus on the areas of particular areas
of interest for
>New Zealand. They are: whether there should be a standard dispute
resolution process
>throughout all Registrars / Registries; whether the dispute resolution
process should be
>voluntary or mandatory, or a combination of both; and whether there should
be some method
>for contracting out of the right to seek a court ruling if one undertakes
to submit to the dispute
>resolution process. Dengate Thrush joins an international committee of
fifteen.

As far as I understand there was no appointment process for these DNSO
working groups.
All interested parties from the General Assembly were invited to join and
contribute.

If there were appointments, who did the appointing? Javier Sola? Randy Bush?
In view of the raging controversies about process on the discuss@dnso.org
list it would be interesting to hear from Peter.
(but he's on holiday)

The controversies are about the fact that the DNSO itself is not yet
properly constituted (it is now a small cabal of CORE/INTA supporters who
have sucessfully kept the Individual and the non-commercial stakeholders
out) and has no business starting with the workgroups to discuss
(=railroad) WIPO policy.

Peter will face an uphill battle there.
