>p.s. i know that is alot of people for a teleconf but i hope like hell
after the initial teleconf the balance of the work would be done in working
groups by phone & on the net (i really do believe that this could be
accomplished in the time period left or at least moved along to the point
where the balance of work coudl easily be done in less than one day in
singapore).

>>Ken,

>>Well, it seems that I am sitting here as one of the key sponsors of the
>>Paris draft, which I feel is the better of the two drafts, although not by
>>much. Both "sides", however seem to be taking snipes at each other
>>personally in a public forum, something that doesn't get us anywhere and
>>something that I find COMPLETELY unprofessional. :( I've sent a few emails
>>out to folks asking them to tone it down and get down to the real
>>discussions rather than personal attacks. But we'll see what happens
there.

>>So here's the question: How do you perceive this working out? According to
>>Esther Dyson, the DNSO.org and Paris drafts are the only two drafts
>>submitted before the deadline. Where do you want to see things go from
>here?
>>
>>The Paris draft isn't perfect, even with the amendments that we've put
>forth
>>being put in place today or tomorrow. It has holes. So does the DNSO.org
>>draft. How do we bring these together?

>>Sincerely,
