This is not the first time that your "direct observation" has been in
direct contradiction to the facts. "Kent's word-for-it" and "what can
be read as drafted" are in complete agreement.
The *second* DNSO.org draft was posted *before* the INTA draft. An
intelligent person capable of reading can clearly see the influence
of the DNSO.org work (in particular, the first draft) on the INTA
draft. But the INTA draft had no influence whatsoever on the
DNSO.org draft -- the DNSO.org draft was complete before the content
of the INTA draft was known.
INTA put together a well thought out document that expresses their
point of view, and made concrete organizational suggestions. Many of
those organizational suggestions are at odds with what I personally
consider to be political reality, and there are other features that I
consider simply undesirable. I believe that my feelings are widely
shared among DNSO.org participants. However, unlike ORSC, INTA has
committed to working with DNSO.org to try to work on those
differences. Since DNSO.org is in *fact* an open organization, we
will of course negotiate with them, and see if something can be
worked out.
