  We are a bit concerned as well.  We also submitted some rather
detailedchanges/amendments that are very much in line with what the "Boston
Working Group"
came up with as well.  However they are only a couple of days old, so maybe more
time
is needed for review by the NTIA, IANA, and NSI.  However it is also still
concerning that time is short.

  Good questions.  We would hope that NSI is, but the situation has
changedrather drastically in the past few days.

 All good questions.  All unknown at this point.

  Let's hope that it is heard.

  Well I think that this has been done.
