RE: [ga] Capture by a Self-interested Faction

["Roberto Gaetano" <roberto@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't have the cristal ball, therefore I don't know how the Board will
vote the moment that a decision has to be made, but the only thing that I
can say is that Klensin's concern are known to the Board, who will take them
into account (along with all other contributions from either point of view).

As for o'com, I thought it was already reserved by the Irish Registry...
