Thanks for the correction and the invitation to join the TLDA effort.
As to joining a constituency, how does one choose? I:
- maintain a commercial and informational website
- am developing a personal (family) website
- designed and maintain websites for several local non-profits;
- am a member of a domain name non-profit association
- own stock in companies that provide Internet infrastructure
- give local presentations through both the county Chamber of Commerce and
a significant non-profit foundation about Internet infrastructure, how to
get connected and how to establish an Internet presence.
- monitor and post news of domain name/trademark disputes; participated in
two WIPO consultations
- am titular holder of a top level domain, .SHEESH, which was given to me
about 16 months ago.
I am on six lists discussing variations of the same themes with variations
of the same people. I cannot see the wisdom in participating in a handfull
of constituecies, discussing variations of themes with variations of the
same people. However, I will continue to monitor their formation.
