I *am* interested in running a real live top level domain server.
Probably not at the first round of applications, but eventually.

Human and Civil Rights? These are very important causes but how are
they related to TLDs? Pierre and I are here looking through the eyes
of the individual and small business, and also from a more charitable
perspective. I agree that there are probably individiuals not on
this list that should be, but the list has been publicised and not much
more can be done rather than having more conventional meetings, in which
case a lot of us couldn't make it either.

So this forum might not be perfect, but it's better than most of its
alternatives.
