I don't think so. Simon posted part of what happened at that meeting. Previously,
Bill had made many mentions of experimental registries, but after the meeting
I took careful pains to insure that Bill knew that our registry was no longer
experimental, as it had been for many months prior, but that we were satisfied
with our registry and were ready to go operational. Since the Postel draft was
not yet RFC (according to their plans), I asked permission to go online now,
as long as I disclaimed that it would take a while longer to get the Postel
draft to RFC status.

Please, check the dates on the posts involved and remember when the meeting
took place. Also remember that what Bill may have said before or after the
meeting does not change what he told us at the meeting itself. Both myself
and Mr. Frangie (a shareholder and partner in Image Online Design) were very
clear with Bill.

Ultimately, however, whether or not anyone on this list believes their
interpretation of events to which they were not present is not very important.
What is important is the final document that the IAHC will present to us on
the 31st, and what happens thereafter. If we have to bring this matter up
again in any other forum, we will; until then, I've said what I have to say
on this matter, and as I indicated to Michael, would rather not perpetuate
an is-so/is-not argument. This is getting us nowhere.
