  This may be so.  I am not aware of that however.

  Implimentation of whatever we develope will be up to IAHC to perform. 
So if those working for IAHC wish to donate their time to impliment it
that is just fine by me.  However, other than the possibility of my
company becoming a registrar, we will not be doing software
implimentations
of any sort for FREE!  That is just not good buisness.  Software, of 
whatever flavor is not FREE!  Someone has to pay for it!  We will
provide
whatever we develope using CORBA/IDL/IIOP avalible to anyone whom wants
or
has a use for it at a price.  In the case of non-profit org's, it will
be
at cost only.

  I don't understand how anyone whom is an adult in todays world cannot
see that they live in a commerce drivin world!  That is just amazing to
me!!
When you want to eat, you have to buy the food, hence a commercial
transaction
has just occured.  That is commerce.

  I do not argue at all with the goals.  I think they are good ones.  I
do 
differ in some of the methods and perceptions.  Nothing more.
