Nope. Unlike some people, I don't think Jon Postel is out
to enslave the world and I do trust some of the people who
are working on this to behave honourably, until proven
otherwise. FWIW, I was more surprised when I saw
suggestions that people who wish to form a commerical DNS
registry industry thought it appropriate to form a "trade
association" and then expect such an organization to be
given a seat at the table. Seems a bit like the fox
guarding the henhouse, to me. I would trust Jon Postel
over such an arrangement any day...

Nice site, for it's purpose. I see Jon regularly posts
messages there and there's a space for feedback. Am I
missing something?

Now really. I'm off to the beach. Begone, temptation!
Let me go, and post no more!!!
