Dany and all, For me and for our members at INEGroup, some of these answers were good and a few were not or were not complete. So I will ask some follow up questions as well. I should have ask these before, but neglected to in greater detail.

Well it seems that you are not well informed here Dany. The EU just passed a internet taxation bill.. See: http://cnnfntech.newsreal.com/story/19990814/16/59/5395245_st.html and, www.ecommercegov.ie.

I shall do so here... Follow up question: Do you support the current DNSO and ICANN bylaws as they are presently in their entirety? > > - > > > > 6.)

Follow up Question: As you may know the US congress is considering legislation regarding the ownership of database and database content, this would include the Whois Database.

Follow up Question: Could you elaborate a bit on "ect", how and what the "Accreditation's" to which your answer refers, with respect to gTLD's added to the current Legacy Root structure, such as when, how many, and what are the criterion for adding new gTLD's? > > - > > > > 8.)

This is not an answer to my question. My question (See above) was in relation to existing Domain Names registered under NSI's registration agreement.
