Re: [gnso-dow123] Proposal to postpone Tuesday's WHOIS TF meeting/conflict

[KathrynKL@xxxxxxx]

All:
I know well the conflict that Marilyn mentions.  There will be a hearing this 
Tuesday on Whois, and it conflicts with our TF meeting.  FWIW, I reviewed the 
schedule last week and I decided to participate in the TF call (and review 
testimony later).   

However, I understand and appreciate Marilyn's request.  This is a hard one.
Regards, Kathy
