Just in case anyone is wondering what Sean is referring to: http://www.icann.org/general/lynn-reform-proposal-24feb02.htm Basically the CEO of ICANN is saying "we give up" or "we can't control absolutely everything with all these pesky requirement regarding representation" and that DNS management needs to be turned over to governments(ala a WIPO-type organization) and their cronies with a self-referencing representational structure(read little to no representation of anyone besides governments and their appointees via a "Nominating comittee") Watching this play out should be fascinating. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Patrick Greenwell Asking the wrong questions is the leading cause of wrong answers \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
