Thank you for your pleasant reminder. Sometimes we must go a little astray in order to set up the foundation for a premise.
The latest little rounds with VRSN were opening salvos in what will be concrete and unilateral action taken by them regarding Transfers and Deletions of domain names. They use the "Clinton Leak" routine about 3-4 months prior to taking large unilateral domain name policy jumps. They have perfected it in the last two years using ICANN as their puppet. They will look at our comments and those of the GA and Registrars and then come back with the best spin doctoring they can ala the new contracts with DoC and ICANN and the dotORG deal, oh yeah don't forget how much they own in afilias. My point being that if we are going to protect the technical integrity we are going to have to begin to tolerate and even contribute in the pollywog arena. And as a good engineer does not just react to problems but anticipates and plans ahead to solve them we must do the same in policy of the business sense. That is what a Global Internet Strategist does. I know to most of you I am like the Dentist and you hate me, but if out of disdain, you ignore me you will lose your teeth.
