RE: [registrars] knowing when to fold 'em

<div>I wonder if they were confused and were telling you how the batch
pool access is going to be calculated. The posted and approved budget
is pretty clear. It mentions only *attempted adds* and *successful net
adds.* Sounds like there may be some clarification needed from
ICANN.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>BTW, in my comments I left a *not* out.&nbsp;The calculation is *not*
just looking at batch pool activity.<BR><BR>Tim</div>

To qualify for forgiveness it <BR>&gt; must be less than 200:1. So it is
looking at just batch pool activity, it <BR>&gt; applies to all
activity.<BR>&gt;<BR>&gt;Tim<BR><BR>Dear Tim:<BR><BR>I had a discussion
