Introducing myself prior to contribution

[Benjamin Azevedo <benjamin@nome.com>]

Presentation

	Let me introduce myself.
	My name is Benjamin Azevedo.
	I am a brazilian engineer, with computer science and business management 
background.
	I think that most of you share the same enthusiasm I have about Internet 
potential benefits.

	Internet is the future.
	Education is Internet. Information is Internet. Business is Internet.
	Future is Internet.

	Internet is a parallel, virtual, world, not yet properly regulated.
	Making the correspondence between virtual and real worlds is always a sage way to 
get solutions.
	Experience is a very strong knowledge source. Real world has a long experience.
Many situations now faced in Internet have their real world equivalent.
Conversely, Internet will change the way we can accomplish most tasks currently made in 
real world.
Businesses need to be prepared for the (already started) revolution.

I am starting a sequence of messages, addressing specifically the new TLD's / DOMAIN 
NAMES issue.
I am concluding a complete proposal in this area and the discussion of those topics will 
help me finalize it.
For each topic I will send the full text and just after it a trailer message to be used 
for replies in order to make them easier and more compact.
I ask you all not to take any criticism as personal. That's just a question of writing 
style.

I expect that those points help construct a fair solution for new TLD's / Domain Names.
And to stop a lot of dispute around it.    (We'll talk about this later)

PS: Following this presentation, I am sending the first topic for discussion:

      "Waiting for Santa Claus?        Privatize TLD's but *CHARGE* for it !  "
