Thanks very much.  I agree with that.

And consistent with my previous comments and the above, discussing the
DNS issues around what .NU (and whoever else) are doing also seems
appropriate content for an IAB Considerations document relating to DNS.
We ought to be producing a *technical* document discussing the set of
related technical issues, IMHO, rather than producing the "Verisign is
evil" document that some here seem to desire.
