Yes it does, Jeff ole fella. Kind of makes you wonder what the whole point
of the Green and White Papers was.
Are the CORE registrars already accredited as per IANA's requirements of
1997? Why should they need to jump through a whole new set of hoops?
If we held an informal pole on just this list, I wonder how many of us
think of ICANN as their mentor?
