Thanks Jeff. I am in the process of composing a message with just this thrust.

I would like to understand a little bit more about the so-called risks. .biz and .info have been thick for over a decade without any incident from an escrow or stability standpoint. .org has been thick for about 8 or 9 years with no incident. .us and a number of other cctlds have been thick for quite some time...again no incident. We need to engage a little more in some fact based decision making and not cater to the philosophical fears that have never arisen.

I am at a bit of a loss as to how we are going to proceed.

On the questions of benefits of having two repositories and two
escrows, all parties agree that it would be good, but NCUC, NPOC and
Verisign feel that there are risks or problems associated with both
registrars and registries housing data that outweigh the benefits.
NPOC's position is that if things are run well, extra copies are not
needed. It is not clear how to ensure that things are run well.

On the question of whether registrar escrow is needed IF we have all
thick registries, all parties that answered think that registrar
escrow should be kept, but some of the answers seem to imply "we
don't want thick so therefore registrar escrow still needed".

I am attaching an extract of the comment template for our questions
with my short-hand summaries in column D. Feel free to add your own.
