The idea was to publish on the Web site comments sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Nevertheless, I see your point here.
My first reaction will be: comments to [EMAIL PROTECTED], discussion (and
possibly tally) in [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I know it will not be easy.
But people will eventually come together. The point is more "how" and "when"
than "if".

You may be right, but I hate the idea of sitting on my hands and waiting for
something beyond my control to happen.
Let's put it this way: even if a DNSO may not be empowered as soon as we may
hope (i.e. at the ICANN Singapore meeting), this discussion will not be lost
time - we would have had it sooner or later.
Also, I think that ICANN is monitoring what's going on here, and the flow of
the messages is giving them already a rough idea of what they can expect for
the MAC.

I assume that even if only a subset of the team had some holidays in the
last forthnight the whole group could not have advanced very much.
We already know who they are - I would expect a first public report around
mid-next-week.
