I dont think this got through yesterday.

Of course it doesnt say how the revisions will be done, either (that would just confuse people, doubtless), or how people might get involved (icanign.org has no 'mandate' to point to lists like these, obviously -- tho in passing I note neither IFWPs home page nor the Rony's points to this list or its archives). But maybe the comment forms will invite them to show whether they are subscribed somewhere. Btw, do you suppose this means that the public (dba USG) considers its investment in this system has been written off? Where would that be shown on the books, I wonder? > The price charged by NSI for registry services will be based > on NSI's costs, plus a reasonable return on its investment. kerry
