Re: [ga] New TLDs PDP: Synopsis of Week One

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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

I think you left out one of the most important and once hotly contested
TLD's, .WEB.

Secondly listing any specific TLD's in this discussion sends a signal
that those listed are of paramount interest and importance to the
subscribers of this list forum and any the  interested party not
currently participating on this list forum.  Nothing could be further
from being accurate.
