RE: [gnso-vi-feb10] New Proposal

[Milton L Mueller <mueller@xxxxxxx>]

I guess I don't see how this proposal makes any significant concessions or 
movements towards those of us more in the Free Trade or CAM camp. I don't see 
where it picks up support from new quarters. 

You might want to explain the rationale better - what does this do to address 
concerns about new entry and innovative business models? SRMU and 
Community/Orphan exceptions are meaningless afterthoughts, aren't they?. I see 
no political advance here in terms of the amount of support this proposal is 
likely to generate. I am quite open to explanations that prove otherwise, but 
as far as I can see this is no breakthrough.
