I believe that they are.  Certainly the current registrars,
reps from several government departments, and the various
associations appear to be represented.

I would suggest that there is no need to wait.  There are
now more than 100 participants on the list, including many
of the more important "stakeholders".  I will attempt to
contact other parties over the next couple of days and ask
them to join.

With respect to latecomers, we will have an archive of this
list available at:

	http://lists.waia.asn.au/list/dns

by lunchtime tomorrow, WA time.  It will be password protected
to scare off search engines.  The URL won't work until then
though.  That location will be added to the footer once it is
alive, so latecomers can go through the old messages themselves
and catch up.

Regards

Michael
