Sounds reasonable. Stef suggested likewise, in a call for shared
values.
I'd like to offer as a topic for discussion what people's feelings are
regarding whether or not the DNS should be fundamentally altered or
restructured. My opinion is that no, it should not, because
* almost everyone on the Internet relies upon it
* from an operational perspective, it works predictably well, even
though it's not perfect
* substantial changes will require vast amounts of time to implement
and retrain users
In addition, I'd like to offer that in cases where parties can use the
existing technology to work around disputes, they should be encouraged
to do so, but not required to do so.
