  Jeff, Danny et. al,
   
  You seem to be writing on a defunct list. Is your writing an halucination? "We" is clearly a list membership here. And contrary to your, and all of your members understanding this list is listened to. If you do not get emails from matters emanating from this list - well nuff said.
   
  Danny count this poorly educated and illiterate boy as part of we.  Would you suggest breaking down the statement into subcategories and prepare them openly here with input. Then ask for a "yea or neah" vote of consensus confidence or no confidence?
   
  I have preferences, which I will set aside to look at both sides. For instance "should we" is a typical question of supply and demand where we must look into the people in business that need the shortage (real or percieved) to keep pricing structures stable. OTOH we must be cognisant of the developing nations and peculiar needs of small minority groups and then again the common consumer.
  We are most comfortable with non changing status quos, however change and adaption is critical to continued and productive growth. Along these lines are Multilingualism at its' peak - Why any more in English? The pros and cons of most situations are obvious.

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

With all due respect Danny, who is the "WE" in which you are referring
to?

If the "WE", as I suspect or understand your post, is the participants
of this forum, than isn't it likely that the GNSO "Committee" for
determining
the future of new gTLD's are not going to pay much mind as the GA is
defunct?

I respect what I think you are trying to do here, but given the results
of
Vancouver and long ago MDR, what you are suggesting to do is
likely an exercise in futility as this committee cannot consider such
discussion or results of same seriously due to the GA being defunct.
