Each ISOC chapter? Sure. Each person supposedly represented by
ISOC? Don't be silly.

The POC has already indicated that (a) it would like EuroISPA's
involvement and (b) if the PAB clearly agrees on major changes,
those major changes will be made.
CORE has no relevance to these proceedings.

As far as I am concerned, this is all about widening support for
the gTLD MOU. If that support doesn't increase by a large amount
