I take great exception to your description of our delegate, Elisabeth
Porteneuve, as  a "herald" of Philip Shepherd. It impugns both her, and the
constituency which appointed her, and to whom she has been reporting and
consulting on this issue.

While I accept your passion, please don't let the rhetoric become your
enemy.

And, btw, the ccTLDs do not routinely support business interests, do not
routinely oppose non profits (InternetNZ is one), and many support
individual registrants.
