[ga] Verisign Delete Discussion Group Straw Poll Results


Poll Background

In an attempt to gauge the current state of thinking within the icann-delete
discussion group, an informal straw poll was undertaken the week leading up
to October 23, 2001 to determine which proposals were currently favored by
the group. The ballot for this poll, as presented on October 17, 2001, was
as follows:
---ballot---


 There have been four proposals tabled for discussion. Please indicate with
 an "X" in the space provided which proposal you or your firm is *most
 likely* to support. If you do not feel that any of the proposals adequately
 solve the problems as described on the mailing list, please select "NONE".
