Invitation

Before we commit to sending representatives, we should inquire regarding
who else will be on this "working group". This is purely a registrar
matter and not a policy development exercise. Participation in the
exercise should be limited as closely as possible to ICANN technical and
operational staff and members of the registrar community.

In parallel, we should also discuss, prior to meeting with this working
group, the appropriateness and scope of these provisions. In reading
them again, I'm struck by how exceptionally vague and one-sided they
are. I would not agree to these terms in a normal commercial agreement.

I would also like to participate in this effort.
