  Well I sure don't see any real movment towards that.  But possibly
there
is movment that we on this list arn't aware of.  I can easly understand

  I would be willing to do this if there is anyone within the gTLD-MoU
folks that can legaly counter sign any objections or amendments that
may be specified.  But to my knowledge there is now one in that

  There is a third.  That being that PAB will be disbanded by POC, and
given only an advisory voice which is not binding on POC or CORE.
