antony...

you will have to fwd this to the constituancy as i am
using yahoo and it is not on the majordomo list...

i had an in-depth phone conversation with stuart lynn
recently and he agreed at that time to consider
accepting a representative from the registrar
constituancy. it was felt that this person be
representative of a ¨middle of the road volume¨
company and not currently have any equity interest in
any of the new TLD´s. i was hoping that we could
select someone at the montevideo constituancy
meeting..

suggest this be a short agenda item onb the RC agenda
