RE: [gnso-pednr-dt] Proposed agenda for PEDNR WG call

["Mason Cole" <masonc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm afraid there still is no clarity on the problem, however you want to define 
it, being presented by resellers.  I heard several times in Sydney that 
resellers were the real problem.  I've asked for clarification on this list, or 
for a demonstration of how resellers create difficulty for a user, and the 
extent to which this is happening, but no one has done so or even replied.

Could someone please do so for the benefit of this entire group? 

There's the separate issue of course of reseller "control" by ICANN, which 
looks very much like something out of the purview of this group.  I'm more 
interested in what, if anything, users are experiencing via resellers.

James, I think that you proposal is a valid thing 
to discuss, but I do not believe that we can take it as a given.
