Dr Lisse,
I think you mistook my message as a criticism. :)
I was pointing out for those that have not been in this as long as you and I
and Michael, that our criticisms of the DNSO.org did not come lightly. That
indeed we supported the DNSO.org at one point, and made efforts to work within
its process.
And I posted it because I notice recently an increase in the number of
subscribers (particularly on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list) who may
not be as aware of the history and who is who.
I hope my message was not so unclear that it was taken as a criticism of either
Michael or you, as I have found myself more often in agreement with you, and
have immense respect for the efforts you have put forth in this entire process,
from the APTLD, IATLD, and throughout this entire alphabet soup mess that has
been at times called the DNS Wars.
