RE: [registrars] Transfers TF: Request for Participants in Open Telecon

["David Wascher" <dwascher@iaregistry.com>]

I would like to participate in the call. We are not in the top 10 of
registrars. Also our client base deals from an independent telecom point of
view where they are providing and maintaining multiple services at one time
which impacts the "Apparent Authority" directly.

Thanks,
David Wascher
The Registry at Info Avenue
