Robert, having met you and spoken with you, I am comfortable
giving you the benefit of the doubt, and accepting that you don't
know what CORE has done. I would say that you're excusing
yourself from involvement at a very wise time.
I wish you the best in your new position.

Trademark TLDs?!? What are you talking about?
And anyway, even if somebody (like Jay Fenello, for instance) would
trademark a TLD (.per, in the example), how would this affect the assignment
to a different Registry of a different TLD?
(My company, ETSI, is a member of CORE - for the time being, I am the
representative of my company in CORE - on 1999-06-30 I will quit ETSI to
work for a company that is not member of CORE, and not even interested in
domain name registration, and therefore starting 1999-07-01 I will have no
affiliation whatsoever with CORE)
