Ken and all,
I cannot speak for others whom made this request to be included on
the "Participants List" and any other E-Mail list that the DNSO.ORG
has up. I made our request for myself to be added officially the same day
the DNSO.ORG site went live and again on December 20th.
But this is really academic at this point, as most of the relevant discussions
on the "Participants List" are over from what Roberto has posted recently.
You see Ken, the damage is already done. Humpty-Dumpty has fallen
off the wall anc cannot be put back together again. Shades of the IAHC
gTLD/Mou/Pab/POC musical mailing lists all over again. < sigh> Shame
really all that work down the drain.... But now it is tainted beyond building
any trust back into DNSO.ORG again....
