Let me offer to set up a teleconference if Council members and EC members want to discuss this. We could also use some discussion of the whois task forces. Better yet, we could try to use Iliya's chat room facility again. The teleconference offer is not worth a lot, since anyone outside of USA has to make an international call. But I have unfortunately no facilities to offer toll- free international dialing. So chat may be more feasible. --MM
