Then Vic, why don't you make some policy proposals in a formal manner,
rather than just replying to posts.

If you present a logical, clear cut proposal (without any bullshit) then I
am certain people will look at it. It will also open up discussion and with
that discussion we may be able to get some form of groundwork done with
updates and amendments.

This can then to presented to NOIE and possibly to Govt legislators for
approval.

As for Georges suggestion of placing the DNS in the hands of the Govt
(paraphrasing), I'd much prefer to see a system whereby the industry
participants make policy proposals that are merely ratified by the Govt.
This way, the Govt doesn't really have to get involved (which they don't
seem to want to anyway), but we will have more "legal status" (whatever that
means).

Regards,
Antony.
