I will now send the below statement to the ICANN Board, as finalized by
Gerry:
"The PSO has considered the proposal only with regard to potential
protocol-related technical issues as a result of splitting .com, .net and
.org
into three registries, and can see no problems with this approach providing
that
the stability of the DNS resolution is protected. "
P.S. I did't hear any comments from W3C representatives...
Livia

Hello,
if everyone is happy with my words, and if we do not hear from W3C by end of
work say Thursday, then I propose that we ask Livia to communicate them
directly
to ICANN for input to their resolution meeting.
This matter is getting rather delicate, to say the least!
Gerry

Howdy,
Can we take silence as consent, or at least not dissent, from
W3C/Philipp and Danny? Guys?
If there is general agreement, who wants to communicate it to
ICANN in time for their open meeting?
Leslie.
