Oki all,

Delivery of RC mail to me is fairly desultory. Apparently there is an
earlier thread. Post-Rome the very purpose of the RC seems to me to be
doubtful (advocacy for registrars other than NetSol+4), and post-Elana
the process of the RC left me disinterested.

I'm particularly enamored by Ross' notion of what is going on on NANOG.

Cheers,
Eric

I don't see what you are looking at - .net and .com point to the same 
place with no indication of anything awry...of course, I'm late to the 
game and the DNS probably tells a different story...

Looks like a bunch of guys on the NANOG list engaging in a lot of 
conjecture without the benefit of a lot of facts.

Might be interesting - what criteria would trigger the process?
