Re: [ga] Policy Needed

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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

  This very issue has been discussed and debated several times before.
The same set of problems exist as you rightly point out, as the have
existed for some time [ Years now? ] and no real interest by ICANN,
nor the secondary domain name market has been shown to address
this and other related issues...

  Therefore I and all of our members can only reasonably conclude
that yet another session in addressing this and related issues will
likely meet with basically the same arguments and same conclusions...
