RE: [registrars] Amsterdam Update -- now with PowerDNS

[Nikolaj Nyholm <nikolajn@ascio.com>]

Dear colleagues,

I believe that I gave a certain commitment to give our American counterparts
a show of European hospitality. 
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/registrars/Arc01/msg02940.html

In this spirit, we have teamed with our cunning Dutch friends at PowerDNS to
invite you all to drinks (and Euro-culture?) after our meetings on Saturday.
(Raging vikings at the discretion of Bert and Hans at PowerDNS)


Regards,
Nikolaj

ps. That Jazz cruise thing sounds nice -- but touristy. ;)
