Re: [gnso-pednr-dt] PEDNR: A proposed path forward

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

i like this a lot,  lots to talk about, wrangle over, etc.  but a great first 
step.  hats off to you folks.

here are things i like;

-- consistent behavior immediately after expiry

-- registrants get to go to the front of the line and have that position 
protected for a period of time

-- education (presumably made simpler by virtue of that consistent process 
after expiry)

if i were climbing a mountain, i'd say that this is a good place to drive that 
first piton in.

there are a few things that i'd like to add to the pile (and i'd like to haggle 
over the length of time), but i'll leave that for another day.

thanks,

mikey
