Re: [wg-review] Clarifications requested from BoD, Staff, NC,TC,Chair prior to co-Chair elections

[Eric Dierker <ERIC@HI-TEK.COM>]

I apologize for the mistake, although on further review it may be a combination
of the 75.5% and the 14.2% or 89.9%.  I wonder about this though, as most 1-4
employee businesses are sole proprietors, and the name would be held by
individuals anyhow. I speculate that only about 10% of the names are actually
in use. This is not for argument but just for clarity of thought, and my
thought is only rough.

Sincerely,
