I would not underestimate the effect of a thoughtful reply to the NoI. Since VeriSign interacts with the US DoC surrounding root zone maintenance, I know the staff there. They are clueful and I believe they want to do the right thing. I also believe that the NoI is a genuine request for information and not some kind of bureaucratic formality. Matt
