Politicians and governments win out in the end. They always do. One of the questions for this WG (and others) to consider is how well the NTIA proposals accommodate the various conflicting demands from engineers, lawyers and politicians.
Don't make this more political than it is. The proposals are in a section called "Six Possible Process Flow Models." The NTIA is not saying, here are 6, vote. It's saying "tell us, and here's kinda what we are thinking." Be technical. Be what you do best. Don't try to beat politicians at their game. Bad strategy, I've found. One reason I am not offering my opinion here is that I'd rather 100 people write against what I'd say from their own minds and not to pick a fight. A hundred genuine opinions is better than a thousand "me too's" or "not me too's." Besides, my idea involves a team of trained monkeys, explosive bolts, three clowns, an asteroid and a capsized oil rig. If nothing else, it'd be real cool. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis +1-571-434-5468 NeuStar Never confuse activity with progress.
