RE: [alac] ALERT: What is WHOIS really fpr

["Roberto Gaetano" <alac_liaison@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

And that's where Paul Stahura's proposal comes in.
Thans to Denise, here's the link to the proposal:
http://www.gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/registrars/msg03062.html, 
the doc is whitepaper.doc, in attachment to the mesage.

So, does everybody more or less agree that there's a whole bunch who, even 
if they do not pay direct costs, have indirect costs in terms of additional 
work, loss of opportunity (to buy a name that is in the grace limbo, for 
instance), more complicated situation (loss of time = loss of money), etc.?

Cheers,
Roberto GAETANO
