Maybe your right, others and myself do read into these things too much...

When we see these media releases and no other updates referring to the
current situation on the registry despite statements that there would be,
worry sets in...

I do understand that it's a policy panel (have sat in as proxy in fact),
it's just that time spent getting this running again is time burnt and an
update on where the registry is at would be nice.

If it came first, then maybe we would not have situations where people
think that time is being burnt or wasted. ... I think that I'm repeating my
self..

I think I'm repeating myself.. I think I'll stop.

Open and factual communication can only help us all see what is
happening... I'm not asking for a date, just what has happened so far. As
we all know what happened to .biz.au <grin> non of us would ever wish that
but it dose not mean being left in the dark...

Best Regards,
