Eric,

Are you asking for your own mailing list?  I would support this...

Why yes, but not as a pre-condition for answering the policy question for
applications we know exist, and for types that are as well defined as three
iterations through the DAG Staff, Community, and Public Comments has
provided.

In Working Group C, circa 1999, I mentioned Microsoft as a potential
domain-bundled-with-other-licensed-products possibility.

A separate mailing list is my only pre-condition. Just because we have no
material interest in a "single registrant" type doesn't mean we've not put a
lot of thought into the issues.
