Re: [registrars] Names council meeting with upcoming votes in 10 days !!!


Ken - hopefully the ballot results make this distinctly easier for our reps.
I would only note further that I don't believe that Chuck's document and the
TF work are mutually exclusive, in fact, Tucows fully supports both
proposals simply because they are both implementable and customer friendly.
Hopefully after the Names Council and Board vote we will be able to continue
to integrate the two documents through the implementation phase.

Now if things were only as straightforward with Whois :)

Thanks,

this is not necessarily the best way to do this as I have input from a very
limited # of registrars
