Hey, nice joke there Jim... So now YOU and Richard Sexton are the contacts for ".com" in your IPv8 pipedream? (...)

John, As you should be aware, but apparently are not, the IPv8 Plan calls for 8 Trustees for each TLD. Only the top 2 Trustees are listed. The Trustees are arranged in a 2+2+4 structure. There are two leaders, 2 backup leaders and 4 support people. This helps to provide continuity. The 8 people decide who the 2 leaders are. We are trying to get the 8 leaders organized for .COM. If you are interested in that activity, let us know. Here is the form, that helps to show how the 8 people are structured in relation to each other. Keep in mind that these 8 people may not have anything to do with the registry operation or the registrars. They are the public oversight body for deciding what company is designated to do that, on behalf of the SLD owners who hopefully help to select the 8 Trustees. 5. ____________________ 3. ____________________ 6. ____________________ 1. ____________________ 2. ____________________ 7. ____________________ 4. ____________________ 8. ____________________ If you recall, you have consistently said that you do not want anyone looking over your shoulder as the Registry operator for the .MQ and .GP TLDs. You have also not been able to name 7 other people that help to provide public oversight for those TLDs. The Country of France has now announced that they want to end the "exploitation" of those TLDs. This may be because there is no public oversight. You might want to explain to everyone how you are governed by public oversight. Some people seem to miss it and you are always deflecting attention to other activities that are attempting to provide the oversight that people think is prudent. Why is that ?
