Re: [ga] Clarification: "Ad Hoc Group"

[Planet Communications Computing Facility <pccf@bigbird.earth-net.net>]

Your on the ball here JeffW - I want to know more about the new ad-HOCK
group.  I'm very concerned there's another public relations disaster in
the wind for icann is it attempts to tax the infrastructure again.

Like I said - domain names are one thing - only a very small percentage of
the 200 million people on the net have domains, but everyone needs an IPv4
and soon IPv6 number.  So if they tax that - everyone's affected.

Thanks for putting me back on track Jeff.  It's appreciated.

Regards
Jeff
