Re: [ga] More on Sitefinder suspension

Stephane and all former DNSO GA members or other interested
stakeholders/users,

  Seems some 174,661,619 from New.Net alone don't seem to share your
attitude that competing Root structures are "Toys".  Also see:
 http://www.new.net/PWC_NewNet_Enabled_Users_Attest_Report.pdf
and  http://www.new.net/about_us_partners.tp

  However it is known that you have been on this diatribe of engaging
in misinformation regarding the level of participation for several years
now.  However it also seems very obvious that a still growing number
of stakeholders/users are not buying it...
