I'd be very interested to see the deatils of what you are proposing. Please send them. As to the myself and the ICIIU, now that the NSI has come out in favor of broad participation I suggest that they simply use the entire .com/.org./.edu second-level domain database as a distribution list, and send the various DNSO bylaws proposals to everyone for selection. Those that get the most votes are used in the application to ICANN. In my opinion, it's as simple as that. __________________________________________________ To receive the digest version instead, send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To SUBSCRIBE forward this message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To UNSUBSCRIBE, forward this message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Problems/suggestions regarding this list?
