Re: [ga] GA contribution

[jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Danny and all,

All execellent points here.  But not likely what Mr.
Dierker wanted to hear/read.  

  It is interesting and foolish that "Registrars" were 
eliminated for being required to escrow registration data.
It's foolish as the Data Retention Act does require ALL
service providers, to include Registrars, to retain such 
data for no less than 3 years.
